New York Capital Region Special Education Taskforce

Capital Region New York State

Home

The Capital Region Special Education Taskforce is comprised of over 200 parent advocates, school district staff, attorneys and other individuals who specialize in Special Education Law, and work collaboratively to ensure that children with disabilities are educated in the least restrictive setting and receive a free and appropriate education. The Special Education Taskforce works to give families and school personnel the knowledge and skills to enable them to effectively assist students with disabilities. Parents and family members are important team members, along with school district personnel, in the education of children with disabilities. Parents provide unique and necessary information to teachers and administrators, and are essential members of the Committee on Special Education. In order for families to have a meaningful role in their children’s education they must understand their rights and responsibilities in special education. Our hope is that through our Special Education Taskforce, parents, families, and school districts will collaborate to help students reach their full potential.
