Federal and state law guarantee children with disabilities the right to receive a free appropriate public education (FAPE). Advocates in our Youth Justice Program work with families to ensure that all children receive the services and accommodations they need in school. We also seek to end policies and practices that perpetuate systemic racial inequities in Virginia’s special education system.
