WEBINAR: Race & Education | Accessibility for All: Meeting the Needs of Exceptional Students of Color

Around 7.3 million disabled students are enrolled in public K-12 schools in the country. Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), students with disabilities are guaranteed the right to free public education with appropriate special education services. However, special education programs are understaffed and underfunded, and students of color with disabilities are disproportionately impacted by the lack of resources. This conversation will focus on the extra barriers students of color with disabilities face and sustainable solutions to eliminate gaps in services for all students with disabilities.
