Opportunity for Input for Families of Children/Youth with Disabilities 3 to 26
On September 27, the U.S. Department of Education will be visiting the California Department of Education, Special Programs Division, to look at California's compliance with IDEA Part B. Part B is the section of IDEA (Individual with Disabilities Education Act) that serves children ages 3-26. The U.S. Dept. of Education has asked us to survey parents about their experiences and knowledge of special education in California. This is a wonderful opportunity for parents to provide input and a great opportunity to contribute to improving the system for children in California.

About taking the survey:

  • If you have more than one child, you can do a survey for each child if you want.
  • Spouses and family members can also complete the survey.
  • Skip questions you are not sure about.
  • The information is ANONYMOUS. Only a summary of all of the answers
  • will be given to the US Department of Education, not individual responses.
  • The whole survey will take about 10 minutes.
