Dismantling Department of Education puts disabled kids' futures at risk, advocates warn nationwide
Dismantling the Department of Education could strip resources from disabled children, their parents, and advocates nationwide, potentially leaving them without access to vital support services and accommodations. The move would likely have a devastating impact on already vulnerable populations.
The proposed dismantling of the US Department of Education would strip resources from disabled children, parents, and advocates, according to those affected by the plan. A Texas mother who fought for her son's access to an eye gaze device in school fears that the department's elimination will leave students without necessary support. The loss of funding could disproportionately impact vulnerable populations, including those with disabilities. Advocates warn that this move would be a step backward in promoting inclusivity and accessibility.
