Advocacy Services (AMSECS.org 301-262-8273; 301-367-1017)
The importance of providing special education services, to children and youth with disabilities should never be taken for granted. Too often parents of children and youth with disabilities feel neglected by teachers, school administrators, and school district officials,who fail to respond to their child's rights to a free appropriate public education (FAPE).
All children and youth with disabilities need to be educated within a school setting that foster caring, nurturing, and warm relationships between parent, students, and school staff. This is a valuable and essential aspect of quality teaching and learning for all children and youth,particularly those who experience learning difficulties due to inattention, poor reading, writing, spelling, and/or math skills, and who may have equally troubling problems in behavioral controls.
In all cases, the cornerstone of the entire process is the Individualized Education Program (IEP). It is absolutely important that this document be well-developed and based on current, multifaceted assessments and collected data, that reflect each child's social, academic, developmental, and medical histories. Such individualized programming must provide each child or youth with educational opportunities that are exclusively individualized and are empowering, so that each may truly achieve to their fullest intellectual potential.
To this end, AMSECS is a leader in ensuring that each child or youth with a disability is represented to the fullest extend of the law; each is afforded the right to an appropriate education, within a educational setting that is the least restrictive environment (LRE) for meeting the child's or youth's unique and distinct academic, social, emotional, and behavioral needs; and, that any and all support services, inclusively, are provided routinely and in a timely fashion, as prescribed in each child's or youth's IEP. Quantitative, qualitative, and accountability measures are AMSECS's priorityies in on-going assessments of each phase of this complex process.
