#SpecialEducation is a set of services that children w/ disabilities receive to support their success at school. Special education is different for every child because every child is different. Special education is NOT a place. Students do not GO to special education.

We honor you, Lois! "The lawsuit filed on behalf of Curtis and another woman, L.C. v. Olmstead, led to a landmark SCOTUS decision benefitting elderly and disabled people, and ultimately helped Curtis move out of institutional care and into her own home." conta.cc/3TfRn2X

It's #DisabilityVotingRightsWeek and we are celebrating with our #DisabilityVotes campaign! For today's featured voter we have Angela Bellissmo who talks about what she enjoys about voting. #DVRW
ID: White background. On the bottom left is the “National Disability Rights Network” logo with the six rectangles connected together. TEXT: “I really enjoy voting to express whom I want in our local, state and federal offices. I also like voting for issues that are important if and when they are on the ballot...All people with disabilities should vote because our voices should be heard. " Next to the text is a photo of Angela Bellissmo, a white woman with short curly hair, glasses, and a green floral shirt with shorts and a pink purse. She is at a house with flowers. On the bottom right of a photo is a “Vote” button. Below in a purple background is white text, “Angela Bellissmo, (she/her)”.

Let's include students with disabilities!
Image Description: Meme. A car labeled "us" takes a sharp turn onto the road to the right that is labeled "include students with disabilities." The exit to the left that the car is avoiding is labeled "segregate students with disabilities."
