Parent influence is on the rise. Both the federal monitoring team and Senate Education Committee listened to and acted upon parent concerns. But it's too soon to celebrate this fact. Unless and until state education officials find a way to embrace parents as consumers and accept them as equal partners, recent parent successes will lie fallow. The California Special Education Observer provides news and information from the parent perspective.
Distribution is limited to special education parent leaders.
