15. DFC | Special Education The other parent Training and Information Centers in illinois are Specialeducation and Disability resources. The illinois State Board of education http://www.designsforchange.org/sped.html

This effort places a primary focus on helping to ensure that students with disabilities are educated in the regular education program and master the regular education curriculum, consistent with the most current federal law (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act or IDEA) and with the Corey H. Settlement Agreements. The ABLE Coalition: Advocates Behind Legal Education DFC encourages parents of children with disabilities to take advantage of training opportunities and join a parent support group. A parent support group will provide needed emotional support and valuable feedback and information from other parents. You will also get a better idea of systemic issues and how they impact on other children with disabilities. Parent group meetings are a great place to compare strategies and share stories from the field! Parent Training and Partnerships Project DFC is a Parent Training and Information Center. Each Parent Training and Information Center provides training and information to parents of infants, toddlers, school-aged children, and young adults with disabilities and the professionals who work with their families.
