There is good news to report that the U.S. House of Representatives has overwhelmingly passed the ADA amendments. The bill goes to the Senate and if passed and reconciled on to the President for signature. As discussed in an earlier blog this legislation is critical for children with special needs both now and certainly in the future. We should celebrate this victory even though there are hurdles yet to cross. Kudos to COPAA for rallying popular support for this important bill. We also need to achieve success on the pending IDEIA Fairness Restoration amendments as well.
