Current Topics & Presentations

Because the topics are current and many changes are taking place quickly at the state level, all programs will be announced and described as they are planned and confirmed.   Here's what's new!

 

► The Local Task Forces were mandated by a court order in 1972 to assist in improving education for all school-age persons with mental retardation.  In 1975, the Right to Education Act was passed by the US Congress and included all children with disabilities.  This Task Force functions as an independent organization of parents and other interested parties in Lancaster and Lebanon Counties who are interested in coordinating efforts to identify opportunities to move education forward for all children. Registration required and lunch provided - call Melissa Jenkins at 717-606-1738.
