I join Jessica in saying welcome to our blog! We hope to inform readers of struggles that children with disabilities face in the public school system and steps to overcome some of those obstacles. Also, we hope to include some strategies and technologies that could be integrated into the classroom to benefit these children.
Today, I wanted to make readers aware of our state of Georgia's Program for Exceptional Children through Atlanta Public Schools. I am personally involved in this through employment by APS to implement early intervening speech and language services in K-2 classrooms. The following site is APS's Program for Exceptional Children page. It offers information about services and what Atlanta Public Schools offers its children with disabilities. Also, the site explains briefly the process a child must endure to receive special education services. This is important for parents and teachers to be knowledgeable of.

We hope that through this blog people will become more educated about the issue that these children face and the solutions that are being theorized. We also hope to learn of personal experiences and insight from many different angles.
