4. Special education guide now in Spanish

CESA 7 has posted online the new, Spanish-language version of the recently updated publication, "Special Education in Plain Language."

The online booklet explains in everyday terms what the law requires and what school districts must do to implement the law. It also offers suggestions for parents on actively participating in their children's schooling. The updated booklet includes recent changes in state and federal law.

The book was collaboratively developed and reviewed by Wisconsin parents, advocacy organizations, school and special education administrators, general and special educators, service providers, union members, special education attorneys, and the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. Spanish translation was undertaken by Christina Green of Milwaukee Public Schools and Nelsinia Ramos from Wisconsin FACETS.
