The Project
My project is designed to assist low-income, chronically ill or disabled children with their education issues. My project has three goals. First, I will provide direct legal representation to my clients. Second, I will educate those who work and interact with my client population regarding the rights these children have in the school system. Third, I will advocate for policies in the school system that help my client population get the services and understanding from schools that they are entitled to. <a href=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7astbR2MW-c target=_blank><b>Learn more about my project on YouTube</b></a>.
