This holiday season, we are thankful for the determined parents and advocates who were at the forefront of this movement – parents who believed in the potential of their children and organized, marched, and appealed to local, state and federal leaders for legislation that would reshape education for millions of students with disabilities across the nation.
For the past 50 years, AFC has worked tirelessly alongside families to ensure students can benefit from the full promise of the IDEA. We exist to serve the children who, in spite of legislation that ensures their educational rights, still struggle to receive a free, appropriate education and don’t have families who can afford to pay for private services.
As we celebrate the tenacious individuals who drove the passage of the IDEA, we re-affirm our commitment to the education of students with disabilities and continue to work towards a future where they can realize their dreams.
Thank you for championing the educational rights of students with disabilities and partnering with us as we pursue a quality education for the children and youth that we serve.
