offer support to parents of children with all kinds of
disabilities -- emotional, social, learning, sensory -- not just
physical disabilities.
WE
BELIEVE . . .
. . . In the philosophy of educational integration for all students with
disabilities.
.
. . That all students with disabilities are entitled to grow up in a
world which does not set them apart -- which welcomes them -- with all
their strengths and weaknesses.
.
. . That all students should be offered many opportunities that prepare
them to live and participate in the real world.
WE
HELP . . .
. . . Parents, students and school districts coordinate reasonable,
appropriate, inclusive educational programs.
