This is our last episode before our much-needed summer break. Taking this break helps us to refocus and prepare for a new school year. We recently made another appearance on the Diverse Thinking Different Learning: A ChildNEXUS podcast with Dr. Karen Wilson, who has also joined us on our podcast before. Today, we are featuring that episode as an overview of what’s been happening, and continuing to happen, in the field of special education in the US since the Trump administration took office. Enjoy the conversation!

Show Highlights:

  • An overview of the state of affairs right now in US special education, especially regarding the executive order to dismantle the Department of Education
  • Thoughts on the illusion of “giving educational rights back to the states”
  • Miscommunication and misinformation about the role and scope of the Department of Education
  • A real-life example from San Diego, CA, about a specific grant and its far-reaching impact to students
  • Parents feel fear and anxiety because of grant-funded programs and other initiatives that may not be there to support their children.
  • The best power the people have is to contact their state and federal representatives.
  • DEI initiatives are about much more than race and gender.
  • The potential impact on early childhood education programs
  • What can YOU do?
