The CDC is reportedly preparing to end existing telework accommodations for employees with disabilities despite a new HHS policy that permits telework as an option.

This means workers would lose their approved accommodations and be forced to reapply, which could take six to eight months (!)

You can’t deliver a free appropriate public education for students with disabilities while you dismantle the teams that make it real.

Over the weekend, ED cut them.

The recent federal layoffs didn’t trim wasteful activity. They targeted the people who help kids with disabilities get a free and appropriate public education and those who keep mental health care accessible and disability rights real.
