  Special Ed Rising News: No Parent Left Behind Reporting • Policy • Advocacy • Disability Rights

  Jul 29, 202612 minS3

  In this inaugural edition of Special Ed Rising News, host Mark Ingrassia covers six important stories shaping the future of special education, disability rights, and public policy. From proposed changes to federal oversight of special education to concerns about civil rights enforcement, preschool discipline, voting access, and immigration policy, this episode breaks down the headlines that matter most to families, educators, and advocates. In This Episode ️ Federal Special Education Oversight The Department of Education is moving forward with plans to transfer many special education responsibilities to the Department of Health and Human Services while shifting much of its disability civil rights enforcement to the Department of Justice. Learn what has changed—and what protections under IDEA remain in place. Preschool Pushout A troubling new report finds that preschool children with disabilities are suspended, expelled, or informally pushed out of early childhood programs at dramatically higher rates than their peers, raising concerns about access to early intervention and inclusive education. ⚖️ The Future of Olmstead The Department of Justice has issued a legal opinion challenging decades of federal interpretation of the landmark Olmstead v. L.C. decision. Disability advocates warn the move could weaken enforcement of the right to receive services in community-based settings. The Arc responds with what families need to know about their rights moving forward. Civil Rights Enforcement Declines A new Senate HELP Committee report reveals that the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights reached a 12-year low in resolution agreements, raising questions about accountability and protections for students with disabilities. ️ Accessible Voting The latest update on the SAVE America Act, including why disability advocates remain concerned about its potential impact on accessible voting and why the legislation remains stalled in the Senate. Immigration Policy and Disability Services A new federal immigration rule is raising concerns that eligible immigrant families may avoid Medicaid and other disability services out of fear it could affect immigration status, potentially creating a chilling effect on access to essential supports.
