The Division for Research of the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC-DR) is devoted to the advancement of research related to the education of individuals with disabilities. https://cecdr.org
ACTION ALERT: Department of Education has nearly wiped out OSERS—offices essential to ensuring students with disabilities receive the services they’re guaranteed under IDEA. Congress must act NOW. Tell lawmakers: Restore OSEP. Protect IDEA. #4SpecialEducation

📢 Special education funding matters! Schools and districts need sustained, meaningful investment to support infants, toddlers, children, and youth with disabilities and/or gifts and talents. Tell Congress: Fund education, fund the future! #4SpecialEducation
