The states have to provide the funding, which is mandated by the federal government under the Americans With Disabilities Act. The ADA is an addendum to the Civil Rights Act. Hopefully, it would take an act of Congress to overturn the existing laws. If they try that, there will be a shit storm of epic proportions like we have never seen! Parents of SpEd kids nearly all have lawyers, because they have had to fight the system to get the help they need for their kids.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
