Hundreds of staff members at the U.S. Department of Education have been laid off, including nearly the entire Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP). The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is still the law. But with almost no one left to oversee and enforce it, families may face new challenges in making sure schools follow IEPs and provide required services. Understood is here to help you stay informed and supported through these changes. We’ll continue sharing updates as more information becomes available. #departmentofeducation#specialeducation#adhd#dyslexia#ieps
