Special Education
The Coptic Education Foundation (CEF) is proud to announce the launch of a new service aimed at guiding and supporting families of Coptic children with unique educational needs. These needs can vary from neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g. Autism) to Learning Disabilities, to other educational challenges, such as ADHD or Anxiety. The California school system provides extensive resources and support for children with special educational needs. The aim of our service is to educate families on their rights, how to access these services, and how to recognize common concerns. It can be a scary experience to wonder if your child needs additional help and not know where to turn for support. Our goal is to offer that support to families in order to improve the school experience of students within our community.

Toward this end, our primer is intended to provide the legislature and public with an overview of special education in California—conveying information on special education laws, affected students, services, funding, and academic outcomes.

Some schools are better at addressing these differences than others, and while students with a learning disability may need more support, with the right resources they can truly thrive in a higher education setting.
