The new Pennsylvania Chapter 14 special education regulations became effective July 1, 2008. These new regulations incorporate changes to many provisions, including provisions pertaining to evaluation timelines, procedural safeguards, behavior supports, and the criteria for specific learning disabilities. To read a summary of all of these changes provided by Connolly, Jacobson, DePietro & John, LLP, please click here http://www.cjdjlaw.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=21

We learned today that SNAG is one of the recipients of the 2008 “Making 
a Difference in Cheltenham” awards!  Our notification letter reads:

“SNAG is providing a valuable service for parents and children who 
reside in the Township. By providing advocacy, support and education 
through guest speakers, programs, seminars, a Web site, and 
collaboration with the School District for the optimization of the 
special education program, SNAG is helping parents obtain the 
necessary educational opportunities that their children need to be 
successful in our community and their daily lives. SNAG provides 
support of the mental well-being of parents who have children with 
special needs.”

Thanks to everyone who has made SNAG a success!
