School may be almost out for the summer, but The Arc@School is still in session. Now in its second year, The Arc@School continues its mission to build the capacity of The Arc’s nationwide network of chapters to provide individual advocacy that helps students with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) navigate the special education system. Equal access to education is a fundamental right for all citizens and an important building block for a strong society. For students with I/DD, a high-quality education can make an enormous difference in the quality of life and degree of independence they enjoy in adulthood. Special education advocacy is instrumental in ensuring that students’ rights are respected and that they receive the services and supports necessary to graduate from high school and pursue post-secondary education and employment.
With these ideals in mind, The Arc@School conducted an investigation of existing special education advocacy practices and published a report entitled Special Education Advocacy and The Arc’s Chapter Network: Findings from The Arc@School. Students with I/DD, parents, educators, and advocates can find:
- A brief overview of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and the growth of non-attorney lay advocacy in special education;
- A description of the curriculum, length, and cost of current advocacy training programs, such as Wrightslaw and the Council of Parent Attorneys and Advocates (COPAA);
- A description of The Arc networks’ current capacity for providing individual special education advocacy;
- A summary of the current limited academic research on best practices in special education advocacy; and
- A list of program recommendations that The Arc@School intends to implement in the coming years, such as a suggestion that The Arc@School collaborate with the COPAA, PTI Center, and protection and advocacy networks to ensure that scarce special education advocacy resources reach as many families as possible.
To read the report, please see Special Education Advocacy and The Arc’s Chapter Network.
I am the co-founder of JustCBD Store company (justcbdstore.com) and I’m presently trying to expand my wholesale side of company. It would be great if someone at targetdomain share some guidance ! I considered that the most effective way to accomplish this would be to reach out to vape companies and cbd stores. I was hoping if anyone could recommend a trusted web-site where I can buy Vape Shop B2B Email Marketing List I am already reviewing creativebeartech.com, theeliquidboutique.co.uk and wowitloveithaveit.com. Not sure which one would be the very best selection and would appreciate any advice on this. Or would it be simpler for me to scrape my own leads? Ideas?

After I originally left a comment I appear to have clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get 4 emails with the same comment. Perhaps there is a means you can remove me from that service? Appreciate it!
Like!! I blog quite often and I genuinely thank you for your information. The article has truly peaked my interest.
An interesting discussion is worth comment. There’s no doubt that that you need to write more on this issue, it might not be a taboo matter but usually people do not speak about these topics. To the next! Many thanks!!
Howdy! I could have sworn I’ve visited your blog before but after browsing through a few of the articles I realized it’s new to me. Regardless, I’m certainly pleased I stumbled upon it and I’ll be bookmarking it and checking back regularly!

Can I simply just say what a relief to uncover someone that actually knows what they are talking about on the web. You definitely understand how to bring an issue to light and make it important. A lot more people need to read this and understand this side of the story. It’s surprising you’re not more popular given that you certainly have the gift.
