New Guide to Parent Rights in Special Education Available

The Department of Education and Workforce has updated the Guide to Parent Rights in Special Education to include the changes to the Operating Standards for the Education of Children with Disabilities from 2023, and these are now available on the Department’s A Guide to Parent Rights in Special Education webpage. This document is available in English, as well as 20 other languages, including Somali, Gujarati, and Arabic. Educational agencies should begin using this document this school year; however, full implementation is not required until the 2025-2026 school year.
