NBC Investigates Challenges of Special Needs Students (Special Education Advocacy w/Sabrina Shafer)

A tragic story turned incredible triumph! We are so pleased to report that we were able to successfully have Oli placed at SEAL. THIS is why IEPs matter. This is why special education matters. This is why speaking out matters.
A HUGE thank you to @NBC for their advocacy and bravery in reporting on this important story! PLEASE go and follow their page and like the story to show your support (links below).
Oli's story is a testament to families to never give up. It's a rallying-cry to the special needs community to continue to share their stories. And, perhaps most importantly, this is how we ensure that every child receives the appropriate education they need to be happy and integrated members in society.
Ideally we achieve this by helping school districts and parents/guardians work better and smarter together.
At Breaking Autism, we believe that you cannot leave #specialeducation to chance. That's why we are committed to providing free and ungated resources to help. If you have resources you'd like to share, please add them to the comments! Likewise, please send us your questions and areas of need.
Please support #NBC for reporting on these matters:
