A body of governor appointed self-advocates, family members, consumers, and public and private agency representatives that plans, coordinates, evaluates, monitors, and advocates on behalf of individuals with developmental disabilities and their families.
This Guide was developed by the Special Education Advisory Council (SEAC), the Special Parent Information Network (SPIN) and the Special Education Services Branch of the Department of Education. It gives basic information about the special education process and encourages parents to be true partners in their child’s total education.
