We’ve officially launched our refreshed SDW website.

It’s designed to make special education advocacy feel more accessible, less overwhelming, and easier to understand — because clarity matters.

👉 Visit the site and take a look.

Next up: our Family Resources section.
What would you want to see there?
Checklists? Templates? Local resources? Rights explained in plain language?

Tell us in the comments — we’re listening.

Before heading into a day of advocacy, our fearless leader started Halloween morning in the best way possible—with his granddaughter, giggles, and a festive tie. 🧡

As we enter November, we’re filled with gratitude for the families, students, and communities we’re privileged to support. Thank you for trusting us to walk beside you.🍂

Thank you Virginia Board for People with Disabilities (VBPD) for sharing this critical information with the community.

October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM)! NDEAM celebrates the contributions of America’s workers with disabilities and showcases supportive, inclusive employment policies and practices.

This year, VBPD assessed two disability service areas related to employment: Pre-Employment Transition Services (Pre-ETS) and Barriers to Competitive, Integrated Employment.

We are proud to release infographics that offer a high-level overview of our findings and recommendations: https://vbpd.virginia.gov/2025/10/2025-board-assessment-infographics-now-available/
