DO YOU HAVE A CHILD RECEIVING SPECIAL EDUCATION SERVICES?

THE MAINE DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES COUNCIL WANTS YOUR INPUT ABOUT ACCESS TO INFORMATION, TRAINING AND ADVOCACY SERVICES RELATED TO SPECIAL EDUCATION.

PLEASE COME TO ONE OF THE INFORMAL MEETINGS LISTED BELOW

(Pick the Location/Date/Time that works best for you.)

The Maine State Legislature wants to know if information, training and advocacy resources are readily available to families, what is working well and what gaps may exist.

MDDC has made the commitment to collect as much information as possible from families around the state about their experiences accessing these services. All comments and recommendations received will be included in a report to the Legislature in January, 2009.

THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO PROVIDE INPUT TO THE LEGISLATURE ABOUT WHAT IS WORKING AND WHAT CHANGES ARE NEEDED IN INFORMATION, TRAINING AND ADVOCACY SERVICES IN MAINE!

WE’LL PROVIDE THE COOKIES & BROWNIES!

PLEASE COME AND PROVIDE US WITH YOUR INPUT.
