Advocates for Children of New York gen yon vizyon sengilye: yon sistèm lekòl ekitab ak enklizif kote tout elèv resevwa edikasyon yo bezwen pou maksimize potansyèl yo antanke granmoun.
Nou goumen pou fanmi yo
Pandan plis pase 50 ane, nou goumen bò kote fanmi Vil Nouyòk ki soti nan kominote ki pa gen resous yo atravè yon konbinezon inik nan sèvis, tout konsantre sou pwoteje dwa edikasyon ak elimine baryè nan siksè pou tout elèv yo ka pwospere.
"I know our journey was a winding and difficult one and we thank you and your organization for helping Omar through it all so he could arrive to this point. I can't imagine how different my son's circumstances would've been without your advocacy."
Apre manman Emely te kontakte Advocates for Children, nou te ede jwenn yon evalyasyon konplè pou detèmine bezwen Emely. Lè DOE a toujou pa t ofri Emely èd li te bezwen an, AFC te depoze yon demann odyans san patipri pou garanti plasman pou Emely nan yon lekòl espesyalize pou elèv ki gen andikap aprantisaj, ansanm ak terapi entansif lapawòl ak leson patikilye youn a youn nan lekti ak ekri andeyò lekòl la.
Kendall te gradye nan lekòl segondè Cooke nan sezon prentan 2015, epi avèk asistans kontinye AFC, ap kòmanse tranzisyon pou vin adilt nan pwogram SKILLs (Konpetans ak Konesans pou Aprantisaj ak Viv Endepandan) Cooke a, ki ede jèn adilt ki gen andikap devlope lavi endepandan ak konpetans pwofesyonèl.
For the first time in 17 years, NYS leaders are reexamining the formula used to decide how much education funding, or Foundation Aid, school districts get from the State for each student. Join us in asking Governor Hochul and the NYS Legislature to update the formula to give all schools the funding they need.
