If you've a child with special needs, you've likely been following the news about proposed changes to federal education oversight and funding. I won't lie - it's concerning. The potential downsizing of the Department of Education, shifting oversight responsibilities, and reduced federal enforcement could impact the services our kids depend on.

But here's what we want you to remember: your child still has rights, and you still have power as their advocate. The federal laws that protect students with disabilities - IDEA, Section 504, and the ADA - are still in place. What's changing is how they might be enforced and funded. We aim to keep you informed.
