Inclusion

Post-Secondary Education

Beyond Compliance: An Information Package on Inclusion of People with Disabilities in Post-Secondary Education is a helpful on-line resource. Compiled by Rebecca Cory, Steve Taylor, Pamela Walker, and Julia White of the National Resource Center on Supported Living and Choice, Center on Human Policy, Syracuse University (and others), this web site contains helpful information for breaking through the barriers that sometimes stand in the way of a person who experiences disabilities on the way to a college education.

Project Participate

Project Participate, supported by the U.S. Department of Education, helps families, educators, administrators and therapists increase the participation of students with disabilities in school programs. The website contains success stories, inclusion strategies, adapted curricula, training handouts, and intervention planning forms. There is also a section on using technology to promote inclusion of students with disabilities in schools and a "gadgets and gizmos" section that contains products to help children with disabilities participate in school and play activities (description submitted by Darla Helt).

Wright's Law Resource Page

Special education law can be a difficult thing to understand.  I can't think of a better place to sort everything out than the Wright site.
