The Rights of Public School Students to Effective Communication

Share:

November 12, 2014: The U.S. Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division together with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights and Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services issued joint guidance about the rights of public elementary and secondary students with hearing, vision or speech disabilities to effective communication. The guidance includes a letter to educators, a Frequently-Asked Questions document, and a summary Fact Sheet, and is intended to help schools, parents, and others understand schools’ obligations under federal law to meet the communications needs of students with disabilities. The guidance documents are available in HTML and PDF versions on www.ADA.gov.  The Dear Colleague Letter and Fact Sheet are also available in Spanish in PDF versions.

To find out more about the guidance documents or the ADA, call the Justice Department’s toll-free ADA Information Line at 800.514.0301 or 800.514.0383 (TTY), or access its ADA.gov website.
