  • I cant tell you how deeply saddened by this article I am!! The Department of Education is under threat in the United States which jeopardizes IDEA (Individuals with disabilities education act) the US equivalent of Send. I hope this remains in place for the sake of our students, and I am so so sad to see that is it under consideration for elimination.
