Resources for Students

Washington State offers various resources and support services for special education students and their families. Here are some helpful resources specifically for special education students in Washington State:

• Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI): OSPI oversees K-12 education in Washington State and provides resources and support for students with disabilities. The Special Education page offers information on laws and regulations, services and programs, and resources for parents and educators.
• Share Your Stories. The Families and Advocates Transforming Education (FATE) Team is creating a catalog of stories from family, caregiver, and student perspectives to include in our training opportunities for educators (the stories are accessible only to SESC Trainers). Sharing authentic experiences helps provide connection, insight, and perspective as SESC Trainers work with families and students to advance inclusive practices.
