📢 🏔️ A Message to Colorado Families and Communities
Families across Colorado may be hearing news about a major federal announcement involving special education. 📰

The U.S. Department of Education has announced an interagency agreement that would move support for the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

OSERS oversees federal programs related to special education, early intervention, vocational rehabilitation, and other services that support individuals with disabilities.

We know this announcement may raise questions and concerns for families of children and youth with disabilities. Here is what we want you to know:

➡️ The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is still the law.
Your child's right to a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) has not changed. IEPs, evaluations, related services, procedural safeguards, and dispute resolution protections remain in place at this time.

➡️ PEAK Parent Center is still here for Colorado families.
We remain fully committed to helping families, caregivers, youth, and professionals understand their rights, navigate educational and community systems, and make informed decisions that support positive outcomes for children and individuals with disabilities.

☎️ 📧 🗣️ At the same time, families have an important voice.
If you believe students with disabilities need strong protections, effective oversight, and continued support, you may wish to contact your members of Congress and share how IDEA and disability-related services have impacted your child, family, and community

PEAK Parent Center will continue to monitor developments, share updates as reliable information becomes available, and provide trusted information, training, and support to Colorado families.

We are here. We are paying attention. And we are not going anywhere.

Thoughts on this?

Civil rights enforcement, special education oversight will move out of education department Advocates for students with disabilities fear that moving special education out of the U.S. Department of Education will undermine support for vulnerable students.
