IDEA guarantees students with disabilities the right to a free and appropriate education.

Unfortunately, current threats put that promise at risk.

- Staff cuts that reduce oversight
- Proposals to move IDEA to another agency
- Proposals to change funds distribution
- Proposals that impact civil rights

These changes will make it harder for families to get the support and services their children need.

Join us to learn more and find out what YOU can do to help protect IDEA.
