Jennifer Coco’s guest column highlights the need for better support for students with disabilities in New Orleans public schools. Drawing from personal experience with her sister’s learning disabilities, she stresses the importance of educators who believe in their students’ potential. Despite a 2015 court mandate, many students with disabilities still face challenges.
Thanks to NOLA.com for the opportunity to collaborate in this column.
“I’ve worked with New Orleans families and educators for almost 15 years to find ways to make sure every child who learns differently gets a great education. The city now has an opportunity to empower local schools with better access to services and expertise that help students with disabilities succeed. Importantly, this plan would not impact schools’ independence.”
