SpedEX is launched! http://www.doe.mass.edu/bsea/spedx.html

A new, creative, child-centered dispute resolution model is now launched by the Bureau of Special Education Appeals in Massachusetts! Funded and supported by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, it is full of promise and creativity. It will provide a child with a FAPE--a free appropriate public education, with follow up to assure its implementation. We expect stories of success!

This model grew out of discussions at Special Education Day events: www.specialeducationday.com... and reflects the hopes of many educators and parents for a quicker, more positive, and more child-centered way to resolve disputes and get on with the business of educating students with disabilities. Stay tuned for updates!
