In the past few weeks there has been a flurry of administrative actions, such as Executive Orders (EO), issued without clear authority, guidance or any plan of action.  We are particularly concerned about how our nation’s 8 million children with disabilities served under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and the 1.5 million eligible under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 will be protected. Some of these orders and actions directly threaten the safety, health, and education of our children. And, they sow fear throughout the disability community, especially for parents of children with disabilities, who rely on the federal government to safeguard their children. Simply stated, eliminating or weakening the federal government’s obligation to protect students with disabilities from discrimination and or to deprive them of a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) is cruel, irresponsible and unacceptable.
