Know Your Rights: Issue Area Spotlights
Special Education & Parental Consent
Throughout the special education process, there are times when the school district must ask for your consent in writing. If you sign as agreeing, you are giving the school permission to move forward with what they have proposed. If you sign as not agreeing, the school will not be able to start the proposed action. If you do not sign the document at all, the school can move forward as if you provided consent. Learn more at drcnh.org/issue-areas/childrens-issues/education/special-education.

Spring 2020 Disability RAPP: The Intersection of Disability and Sexuality
Welcome to the newly renamed and redesigned Disability RAPP. The themes explored in each issue, like this issues’ focus on the intersection of disability and sexuality, inform us and empower us to break barriers and challenge traditional ideas of what it means to live with a disability. We updated the Disability RAPP design to be more accessible in both its print and digital formats.
