NPR: Why children with disabilities are missing school and losing skills

This NPR article features a lawsuit we are working on alongside Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund (DREDF) and pro bono counsel King & Spalding LLP against the State of California.

You can read our statement on this case here: https://disabilitylawunited.org/…/creec-dredf-and-king…/

Cynthia L. Rice, Legal Director at Disability Law United, notes that “Students are not only being denied the right to progress academically, they have regressed due to the lack of a program that can reinforce skills and knowledge they previously had. The District cannot or will not act, so the State must step in.”
