298. What’s going on with the Department of Education? (Part 2 w/Ashley Barlow)
Update: 2025-05-06
Description
Overwhelmed by all the news lately? Us too. That’s why Ashley Barlow (@thecollaborativeiep) is back on the show today to breakdown all of the changes to the Department of Education and the impact on students with disabilities. Here’s what we’re discussing today:
- Budget cuts and the impact on early learning for students with disabilities (no more Head Start program in 2026?!)
- Pros and cons of school choice and vouchers (What does “welfare for the rich” mean?)
- Action steps to make sure your child’s educational needs are met
We know that many of these changes have not happened yet, but the current political attitude towards disability has us a little worried. If you’re feeling the same way, stay informed and know that we’re all in this together.
