Through our work, we protect the legal rights of all students with disabilities and work with students to access and enforce these rights.
We have 3 main programs:
1) Direct Representation
2) Systemic Advocacy & Policy
3) Community Outreach & Legal Trainings
We believe that when students have access to the education and transition supports they need, they will be able to successfully transition to adulthood. Through access to legal counsel, students - whether incarcerated or in the community - are able to access their rights. By accessing and enforcing these rights, students are able to access education.
