Access, Equity, Progress

AEP.HeaderImage

Research shows that students with disabilities learn and achieve more when they are taught with their typical peers. We believe that supporting students with disabilities is a school-wide general education priority.

For the Access, Equity, Progress Imperative — in partnership with national experts and organizations — we provide an implementation framework of technical assistance, self-assessment, and support that mirrors current special education accountability and compliance under state and federal law.

Through this framework, our goal as educational leaders is to implement a seamless and comprehensive statewide system of coordinated services for children with disabilities – from birth to kindergarten – and their families in homes, communities, and early childhood settings to narrow the school readiness gap.

Please explore the latest Access, Equity, Progress webinars, resources, and articles below.
