This webinar will cover navigating students' rights to education while incarcerated both in secure and non-secure/close-to-home placements within NYC. We will discuss the rights of students with individualized education plans and students who were in general education settings.
Advocates for Children of New York has a singular vision: an equitable and inclusive school system where all students receive the education they need to maximize their potential as adults.
We fight for families
For more than 50 years, we have fought beside NYC families from under-resourced communities through a unique combination of services, all focused on protecting education rights and eliminating barriers to success so all students can thrive.
"Hopefully our differently abled students will benefit from this increased awareness, and appropriate and inclusive programs and services will become more widely available."
