Secluding schoolchildren in isolated spaces would be illegal under a new federal bill chicagotribune.com/investigations…
And these are only the reported cases... More than 10,000 times in a single year, Illinois schools put children into seclusion, latest federal data shows chicagotribune.com/investigations…
States brace for worsening teacher shortages. Special Ed will be the hardest hit. chicago.suntimes.com/coronavirus/20… via @Suntimes
Louisiana is requiring schools to evaluate every student with a disability to determine setbacks and provide compensatory services if needed. What’s your state doing? disabilityscoop.com/2020/08/21/sch…
“schools need to make sure students in special education receive the full range of supports they received under their individualized plans before the pandemic.” disabilityscoop.com/2020/08/19/pan…
'It hurts your bones': Private special ed schools can restrain kids with disabilities 1,000s of times. Parents might not know. news.yahoo.com/hurts-bones-pr…
When schools fail children with disabilities only those that can afford expensive representation prevail in getting the education promised to them by the law. disabilityscoop.com/2020/06/19/sch…
Level Field Alliance retweeted
“School psychologists who conduct special ed assessments are more likely to over-categorize black students as “emotionally disturbed” or “intellectually disabled” -- and miss signs of learning disabilities like dyslexia.” kalw.org/post/ca-school…
An important case to follow. Success would hold the state responsible for supporting nonverbal students and pave the way for actions in other states disabilityscoop.com/2020/05/27/non…
DANGER ALERT: lobbying efforts are taking place to allow districts to cut special education budgets! disabilityscoop.com/2020/05/29/sch…
Bingo! While $ is very important, it is only one piece of the solution. Getting state education agencies to enforce disability laws and increasing teacher training to help complex children are the other missing pieces.
Folks, IT'S ACTION TIME! Although as most know, when it comes to advocating for the education of children with disabilities, it is always action time!

The divide widens: of 100 public school districts and charters nationwide, only 22 of them are requiring real-time teaching. nytimes.com/2020/05/09/us/…

BINGO: If ED officials have more money, they’ll know best how to spend it. But for complicated reasons like deficiencies in teacher training that’s often not true. Many standard pedagogical approaches conflict with what scientists know about learning. forbes.com/sites/nataliew…
Now would be a good time to revisit the issue of school nurse shortages.
