The Division of MHDDAD's Office of Developmental Disabilities, in partnership with All About Developmental Disabilities (AADD), is pleased to provide a resource for family members and representatives advocating for their child's education.
Advocating For Your Child's Education is a manual that provides information about the laws that may be useful to, and supportive of, family members in their effort to advocate for their child’s right to a free and appropriate public education. There are names, phone numbers, websites, and addresses of people and agencies that may assist them in their efforts. There is also a list of resources, sample forms, and some ideas that may be useful as they try to achieve an appropriate education for their child in the least restrictive environment possible.
This resource is also posted on the Division of MHDDAD website at http://mhddad.dhr.georgia.gov. It can be accessed by selecting Services...Developmental Disabilities...Helpful Resources, or simply click here.
All About Developmental Disabilities (AADD) is Atlanta's preeminent resource on developmental disabilities, providing support services to families for more than 55 years. We are often the one place where people with developmental disabilities can go to achieve personal empowerment, family stability and community participation. AADD provides family support; public policy and advocacy; and community engagement.
