ACT NOW: https://action.thearc.org/BPzcfsy

The rights of students with disabilities are under serious threat.

The Administration has just gutted the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS), the Department of Education office responsible for enforcing the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).

Without people in place to enforce the law, states could ignore their responsibilities to students with disabilities. This puts millions of students at risk.

We need Congress to act now.
