New Interactive Special Education Complaint Toolkit
The Parent Educational Advocacy Training Center (PEATC) announces the publication of its latest parent-friendly resource, their Special Education Complaint Toolkit. This toolkit provides detailed information on everything you need to know about why, when, and how to file a state complaint and it helps you prepare for the process.
This interactive toolkit has been reviewed by the Office of Dispute Resolution in the Department of Special Education and Student Services at the Virginia Department of Education and will answer many of your questions about the complaint process.
