On With Learning - Education Advocacy

Dyslexia in older students and adults presents differently than in younger children making it harder to diagnose and remediate without specialized knowledge of how dyslexia impacts this age group. We have the expertise and years of successful experience helping adolescents and college students succeed in school. We also help students obtain accommodations on standardized tests like the SATs and ACTs. Find out how we can help you!

Action Alert!!!
IDEA Rights for Children with Disabilities are At Risk.
Chairman Lamar Alexander (R-TN) as part of the stimulus package has included a proposal that gives the Secretary of Education authority to approve state waiver requests for any regulatory requirements of the IDEA ACT (Individuals with Disabilities). Meaning: this jeopardizes rights for a Free Appropriate Education....for children with disabilities...they could also extend this each year..

We cannot allow this to pass - they should NOT be trying to save money by jeopardizing the most vulnerable!!

Please call (if no answer due to office closures- please email!!!).

TAKE ACTION!

Dear Senator/Representative:

While the COVID-19 outbreak has placed a tremendous and unprecedented strain on schools and districts, it is imperative that we work together to find solutions that allow children to receive equitable access to an education and the services that support them without undoing all of their civil and educational rights.I am writing as a concerned (parent/teacher/child advocate) to urge you to reject any provision that would provide waiver authority to the Secretary of Education regarding the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Over 7 million children rely on IDEA to receive special education supports and services.

I hope you will help schools by providing states with additional funding that can be used to provide teachers and school leaders and families with the tools they need to connect to teach and support students. Schools can also be supported with funding to provide extended school year to students and other compensatory services.

Please support the students with disabilities and their families that rely upon the IDEA to have equitable access to an education.

Sincerely,

02/15/2020
