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.

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.
