Click here Announcement FromThe Florida Developmental Disabilities Council For additional information contactSteve Howells at FAAST, Inc., through support from the Florida Department of Education, Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, has just completed research and development of a comprehensive 14-page general self-help resource guide to assist students with disabilities who are not in special education but are eligible to receive reasonable accommodations and auxiliary aids and services pursuant to Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act. As with many other FAAST self-help resource guides, this guide is available on the FAAST website at www.faast.org/resources/library. This guide was created to foster cooperation between public school officials and parents, family members, caregivers, guardians, and advocates/representatives as they mutually work to meet the needs of students with disabilities. This self-help resource guide provides information and resources on effective transition planning; and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, the ADA, and other applicable federal and state laws and regulations. This information can help students with disabilities obtain reasonable accommodations, auxiliary aids and services, and physical and program accessibility in the public education system. The information will also be beneficial with transition planning that can lead to post-secondary education and/or employment. This guide provides hyperlinks to informative websites; frequently asked questions (FAQs); factsheets; federal and state laws, regulations, and rules; and other relevant resources. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * This self-help resource guide is not a substitute for legal advice Visit our Website Visit us on Facebook Forward emailThis email was sent to denisekarp@... by vandab@... | Update Profile/Email Address | Instant removal with SafeUnsubscribe™ | Privacy Policy.Florida Developmental Disabilities Council | 124 Marriott Drive | Suite 203 | Tallahassee | FL | 32301
