On Monday I wrote about two significant class action suits that steered the course for students with disabilities to receive a more “appropriate” education in their public schools. Today I am providing lists of some advocacy groups for parents to contact if they are dissatisfied with the Common Core and/or other issues negatively affecting their students in school.
Here’s a listing of advocates by state. I recommend researching these groups a little more thoroughly if interested http://www.education-a-must.com/advocates.html#FL.
The Council for Exceptional Children has a section for policy and advocacy that might be helpful http://www.cec.sped.org/Policy-and-Advocacy?sc_lang=en.
In Tennessee, Vanderbilt has a nice resource page for the state. They also have a help line http://kc.vanderbilt.edu/pathfinder/resources/page.aspx?id=1263.
Wrightslaw has a lot of information, although I could not find anything about Common Core http://www.wrightslaw.com/.
I will add these to the Special Education section of the website which has other groups that may be helpful. Let me know of additional sources when you learn of them and I will post. Good luck parents!
