Episode Details

The Education Department is handing off civil rights enforcement and special education oversight to other agencies — the Justice Department for civil rights and HHS for special education — sparking alarm among parents and advocates. With staff cuts and case backlogs already crippling the current system, families fear the move will make navigating government support even harder. Critics argue special education should remain rooted in education, not health, and some lawmakers are pushing back with proposed legislation. As attorneys seek alternative paths, the real test will be whether kids with disabilities still get the support they need — and whether the new bureaucratic shuffle actually helps or hinders them.
