Special Needs and Summer

Special needs students still need to have access to the same fun and educational programs as other students even if a lot of schools and summer programs would rather avoid providing equal access.

Sometimes all it takes is little reminder.

Other program coordinators need a written request reminding them that they need to provide equal access. Sometimes it takes more, like a trip up the authority ladder until someone understands that equal access is both fair and the law.
