Make your voice heard and sign a petition to protect special education today!

We believe that the move of the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) from the U.S. Department of Education (ED) to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will make it more challenging for students and adults with disabilities to succeed at school and in their jobs.

Join us in asking the Administration to halt this change and urging Congress to block its implementation and stop further efforts to move special education and vocational rehabilitation programs out of ED. Sign the petition at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScuc33eRSEbpcee5QKeYzUoO87BxAVWBxFh44fnJxKE_Pvj1Q/viewform
