Education for Children and Youth

Parents are concerned about the education their children receive, even more so if the child has a disability. The following sites provide information for parents and advocates about what educational resources are available (or mandated) for a child with disabilities and how to ensure that they are provided.

The Family Village School has a very good selection of education related resources covering educational advocacy, assistive technology for students with disabilities, "disability awareness" educational resources, computers and technology: hardware and software, early intervention resources, government agencies, IDEA and other education related laws, inclusive/special education resources, individual education plan resources, parent training and information centers, protection & advocacy organizations, and transition. It also has some resources just for kids.

Wrightslaw provides information about special education law and advocacy. The site has articles, cases, FAQ's, tips and other resources in the Advocacy and Law Libraries. Information is also organized by topic.

Building the Legacy: IDEA 2004, web site of the Department of Education provides a variety of information about resources related to individuals with Disabilities Education (IDEA).

The Families and Advocates Partnership for Education (FAPE) project provides links to information about the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). It seems to have good information but you may have to go through several levels of pages to get to it.
