NASDSE recognizes this global crisis as a time when collaboration is essential. All stakeholders who value the education of students with disabilities must make strides to ensure that our students continue to learn and grow. To that end, we released a joint statement with COPAA, NDRN, and National PLACE, which stresses the value of partnership and support.

NASDSE has been working diligently with the U.S. Department of Education. As a result of our collective efforts, the Department released Supplemental Guidance on Saturday regarding educating students with disabilities during the COVID-19 outbreak. We greatly appreciate the clarity provided, which will help guide our work during this critical time. Stay safe and know that we are here to assist.
