The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) is preparing to review and revise the Section 504 regulations. The Section 504 regulations have not been revised since they were issued in 1977 - before many of you were born. The current regulations do not directly address many of the disability discrimination issues we face today. As OCR begins the process of amending the Section 504 regulations, they are asking the public - YOU - for your experiences and suggestions to help them answer this question:"How can OCR strengthen and protect the rights of children with disabilities?"We share ideas about how you can help in "How You Can Help Protect the Rights of Children with Disabilities" at https://www.wrightslaw.com/info/sec.504.ocr.regs.htm ...

Challenge is when they don't and tell the kids things like "stupid" "I don't think you can handle it" "do you really think you are good enough"The answer is I AM SMART, I CAN DO IT, I AM BETTER THEN YOU BELIEVEChallenge is undoing the harm and teaching them to use it as fuel.....if this dyslexic child received her MBA with honors after hearing hurtful things said to her from a teacher......YOU TOO CAN USE THAT AS FUELWe need more school system that help students to thrive in their abilities and STOP calling them disabilities. Mine have learned to call things a challenge vs a problem.... because you have to solve a problem....but a challenge is a goal, a goal is something to achieve, achievements are honors....and well we wear badges of honor.Awesome Kids Developing Hidden Dreams #NEISD #bernardharrismiddle #letdown #militaryfamilyeducationcenter #TXEducation #TXeducationsystem #militaryfamilyandreadiness #hadhighhopes #defeatedbyadmin #lackofcaring now #kidshurt Will always stand for the #wrightlaws when it comes to children. #mineyours allWrightslaw: Special Education Law, 2nd Edition Wrightslaw Wrightslaw: Special Education Legal Developments & Cases 2017 Wrightslaw: All About IEPsPS I originally posted this Meme 7 years ago.....it appeared in my memories today.
