VCFS Educational Foundation - Working with Schools to Help Your Child with VCFS

Managing the educational maze can be one of the most frustrating aspects of raising a child with special needs. In the U.S., federal and state laws regulate what school districts are obligated to do, even though shrinking school budgets make it difficult to provide students with maximal levels of service. Schools will often opt for the least expensive alternative, even though it may not be the "best" program. However, parents who are educated regarding the unique needs of children with VCFS, the laws which protect them, and the educational programs which are effective can succeed in increasing the assistance given their child. Children with VCFS can learn and improve their school performance, but parents must be informed advocates for their child's right to an appropriate education.
