Power of One Advocacy Campaign

Six and a half million children receive special education. For many disabled children, special education simply means lowering the bar - not providing an education that is tailored to the unique needs of the child, as the IDEA requires.

If you are like many parents, you often feel helpless. If you think "I'm just a parent - what can I do?" we ask you to participate in our Power of One Advocacy Campaign.

The Power of One Advocacy Campaign has two purposes:

(1) to educate others about special education law and advocacy, and
(2) to be a reality check and antidote to negative feelings.

How Advocacy Campaign Works

several people holding handsLet's assume you print 100 informational flyers and leave these flyers in your pediatrician's office. Your flyers are picked up by 25 parents who live in four nearby communities.

Next month, these 100 parents distribute 100 flyers. Some parents mail flyers to friends and family members who live in other states.

If 100 people distribute 100 flyers, 10,000 people will receive information about special education advocacy and free newsletters - because of you!

Where can you distribute flyers? Here is a list of places to start:

  • pediatrician's office
  • public library
  • heath department
  • child guidance clinics & mental health centers
  • offices of health care professionals (occupational therapist, speech therapist, physical therapist, psychologist)
  • bookstores
  • kindergarten, preschools
  • day care centers
  • mail to other parents, school personnel
  • use as handouts at PTA meetings

We designed two one-page flyers: a Wrightslaw flyer and a Free Newsletters flyer (if you print on both sides, you can get both flyers on one sheet of paper).

We need your help. Six and a half million children with disabilities need your help.

Please join the Power of One Advocacy Campaign. Download and distribute flyers. Help us get the word out about special education advocacy.

Thank you!
