The Center for Disease Control has provided a Q & A document to help families and professionals understand obligations in serving children with disabilities during this challenging time. The CDC emphasis individuals contact their state or local education agency, the Bureau of Indian Education, or their local public health department to gain further clarification. The CDC also states the document is simply an informal guide. Parents and professionals need to “carefully study” the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504), and the Americans with Disabilities Act (Title II). Please feel free to contact ADSE if you need further assistance.
