REALIZE THE PROMISE!!! A DAY TO END SPECIAL SEGREGATION.
Nearly 25 years ago, through the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, America promised kids with disabilities that, from that day forward, they would be recognized, appreciated, and educated as whole, full, young Americans whose right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness would be afforded them, regardless of the nature of their disability, just as it is for all other young Americans.
