The Special Education Task Force

The Connecticut Legislature created a Task Force to study special education services and funding. It is chaired by Andy Feinstein, a parent attorney and founding member of SEEK, Fran Rabinowitz, the Executive Director of the Superintendents' Union (CAPSS), and Michelle Laubin, an attorney that represents school boards. The tri-chairs are seeking feedback from parents and advocates regarding the Task Force's preliminary Findings Report. The Task Force has a January 1 deadline for submitting legislative recommendations to the Legislature.

SEEK's Mission: to Advocate, Educate and Legislate

There are a number of groups in the state of Connecticut that lobby on behalf of children who have disabilities, but none represent parents of children who have disabilities. That’s why we created SEEK of CT. Special Education Equity for Kids of Connecticut plays an essential role in influencing policies and legislative efforts on behalf of students with disabilities. SEEK will also offer parents advocacy tools essential for securing appropriate special education services.

SEEK Needs The Voice of Parents

SEEK is nothing without your voice! It's simple, our strength is in our parent numbers!

SEEK lobbies at the Capitol to improve special education on behalf of Connecticut's 80,000 special education students, including your child.

You can count on SEEK to represent and protect your child's special education rights every legislation session and throughout the year by working with Connecticut's special education key stakeholders.
