Getting Started

When you first enter the world of special education, you may feel overwhelmed and by a sea of acronyms and laws. Don’t worry, there is help! SELPA 1 CAC is a group of parents and community members committed to helping students and families understand their rights and communicate with their district to receive appropriate special education services.

A good place to start the 2- page “I am Concerned About my Child” (“Estoy Preoccupado“). This is a summary of our Parent Handbook, which offers much more detailed insights into special education in our area.
