Sequestration starts today unless the Congress acts. It will hurt the education of children with disabilities!
How will IDEA be affected? Under sequestration, federal funding for the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act will be reduced by $1,053,600,000 in 2013, or 28 percent of the total reduction to education programs.

You can see the amount of money that your state and the projected number of special ed staff will lose on this chart.
Now would be a good time to call your congressmen and senators and tell them to fix this.
