Butte PAK Meeting - Butte, MT - Nov. 10, 2012 - 0 views

Click here to download Butte-PAK-Meeting
What:
The purpose of Montana PAK is to develop a monthly forum for parents to collaborate and receive information about special education advocacy and the federal/state laws that protect their children. In addition, PAK aims to provide a public medium to discuss educational concerns and to raise awareness about the scope of services, as well as local resources, which are available for children. One of those services is an Individualized Education Plan (IEP). An IEP is meant to be a collaborative process between parents, teachers, officials of the school system, and sometimes others who have expertise in the nature of a child's disability or provision of particular services. Parents are often overwhelmed by the special education process as they seek to improve their child's programming during IEP meetings. As an essential member of the IEP team, parents must have an understanding of the legal requirements which guide a school district's practices. Parents can improve their advocacy skills by obtaining a solid understanding of their child's legal rights under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504), the American with Disabilities Act (ADA), and state laws. Although PAK is an organization for providing training and support program for parents, PAK invites parents, professionals and community members who are interested in improving their knowledge about special education advocacy. PAK meetings will be led by parent advocates who have considerable experience with the special education process with presentations by attorneys, special education advocates, and other professionals.

Olmstead: Community Integration for Everyone -- Home Page - 0 views
-
In 2009, the Civil Rights Division launched an aggressive effort to enforce the Supreme Court's decision in Olmstead v. L.C., a ruling that requires states to eliminate unnecessary segregation of persons with disabilities and to ensure that persons with disabilities receive services in the most integrated setting appropriate to their needs. President Obama issued a proclamation launching the "Year of Community Living," and has directed the Administration to redouble enforcement efforts. The Division has responded by working with state and local governments officials, disability rights groups and attorneys around the country, and with representatives of the Department of Health and Human Services, to fashion an effective, nationwide program to enforce the integration mandate of the Department's regulation implementing title II of the ADA.

Access to a high-quality education is critical for empowering all Americans to lead rich and productive lives. Every day, the U.S. Department of Education and my office, the Office for Civil Rights (OCR), work to ensure that all students, including those with disabilities, have equal access to that important benefit. OCR does this by enforcing federal nondiscrimination laws, including two that specifically protect individuals from discrimination on the basis of disability: the Americans with Disabilities Act (the ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act (Section 504).
