The PEAL Center is offering this incredible in-person event to rally a new generation of parents, self-advocates and their allies to push for more inclusive schools. Even though PA was the first state to ensure students with intellectual disabilities could attend public schools, today we rank 44th out of 50 states when it comes to including students with ID in regular ed. classes. We can do better. But we need a new generation of parents to stand up and lead the way. The event is FREE. Space is limited so register today!
Date: November 30
Time: 9:30 AM – 4:30 PM
