Help Us Protect Our Kids’ Rights Under IDEA
Families depend on the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) to ensure that their children with autism, dyslexia, and other challenges receive the education they deserve. Recent efforts by the Department of Education to eliminate key staff responsible for enforcing IDEA threaten our children’s civil rights. This restructuring could strip away vital protections, transforming our children’s education and rights into mere political leverage. It’s time to stand together and advocate for our kids’ futures to ensure that IDEA is more than just a promise. Join us in protecting special education for all children.
