According to the National Center on Education Statistics (NCES), about 12% of students receive special education in at least one grade between kindergarten and third-grade, including 16% of boys, 8% of girls, 18% of poor students, and 10% of non-poor students. Half of those who begin special education in kindergarten are no longer receiving special education by third-grade. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Our mission is to create a network of parents, educators, and administrators who will work cooperatively and constructively to meet the needs of all students receiving special education services in the most integrated environment, with appropriate supports in place, to insure that the students will learn and be valued members of their school community. |
