The Right to Education Local Task Force (composed of parents, agencies, and district representatives) was established to assist in improving education for all school-age children with learning disabilities, physical handicaps, emotional difficulties, and hearing, vision, speech, language and hearing impairments.The Task Force makes recommendations to improve, strengthen, expand and monitor program
s and services; speaks on behalf of special education students; and communicates their needs, problems and concerns to schools and other agencies providing special education programs. We hold almost 8 general meeting during the school year. Most are followed by workshops, panel discussion or presentations. All Local Task Force General Meetings Include:
* Dissemination of local resources, services, legislative updates, parent and professional training opportunities and discussions on current issues impacting local special education.
* The opportunity to network with agencies, other parents and professionals and help find answers to questions.
* The opportunity to share experiences within the system of special education to advise the State Task Force. Many General Meeting are followed by presentations.
