The American Academy of Pediatrics is urging doctors to learn more about special education services and to take a hands-on role in advocating for kids with disabilities. The AAP has issued a report offering pediatricians a primer on IDEA and how they can work with families and school districts to ensure children are receiving appropriate services in school. The full report is attached. Here is a link to an article about the report: https://www.disabilityscoop.com/2015/12/08/pediatricians-bone-up-idea/21657/ Please forward this to your colleagues in the medical profession.
