Your Special Education Student and the NYC Bus Strike – Info, Tips and Updates (courtesy of RCSN)
Seeing as how I’m not trekking 2 hours round trip twice a day with 4 kids, we just secured car service to bring James to school. He’s definitely one person who won’t feel put out not having door-to-door busing (wish I could say the same for our wallet!).

Orientation Guide for Families of Students with Disabilities 2011-2012 – Download Here!
Taken from RCSN website (which I love):
Kindergarten Orientation Guide
New York City’s Orientation Guide for Families of Students with Disabilities 2011-2012 was published last week. For the first time, the Guide aligns the application and enrollment process for students with disabilities with that of typical children, and gives parents clear information about special education reform and how it works.
Jean Mitzutani continues to represent RCSN in the Turning 5 Work Group that helped create the publication. The work group is a collaboration of the ARISE Coalition, the NYC Department of Education, the Bronx and Manhattan Special Education Parent Centers, and the Early Childhood Direction Centers.
