Ensuring FAPE for Students with Disabilities During COVID-19: A Resource for Educators

As schools shift to more distance learning, teams of educators are left to redesign what FAPE looks like when they cannot be physically present with their students. Created in partnership with the Diverse Learners Cooperative, this guide offers a decision-making model that aims to balance individual student needs within a virtual learning context, as well as a range of exemplars showing how this model can be applied.
