November 2018 Newsletter

Dear Colleagues,

October was National Disabilities Awareness Month, and December 3 is International Day of Disabled Persons. So this month, CADRE is featuring DRK-12 projects studying STEM education for children and youth with disabilities. In addition to this month's Spotlight, you might also visit CADRE's dissemination toolkit for information and resources about developing accessible products and communications.

CADRE rang in November by hosting the 2018-19 CADRE Fellows during their orientation at EDC in Waltham, MA. We look forward to meeting with them throughout the year and inviting DRK-12 awardees to share their expertise and experiences.

Sincerely,
The CADRE Team


Students with Disabilities

The U.S. Department of Education reports that more than 6.5 million children and youth were served under Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) from 2016-17, the majority of whom qualified with  health impairments, specific learning disabilities, and/or speech or language impairments.  

This Spotlight features DRK-12 projects that are researching and developing approaches and tools to support STEM teaching and learning for students with disabilities. 

Featured Projects:
