ASAH's Commitment to Parents

ASAH believes parents are the best advocates for children with disabilities. Since its inception in 1974, the association has worked to provide accurate information and meaningful support to help parents do what is best for their children.

ASAH's toll-free Parent Assistance Line (1-877-287-2724) helps parents understand their rights and responsibilities under federal and state special education law, and provides information and referral to help them identify appropriate services for their child.

ASAH also coordinates a free speakers bureau to help parent groups more easily access experts on topics in special education. Call Susan Recce at 609-890-1400, ext 11, for more information or to develop a training event for your parent group.

ASAH also provides a range of publications and resources in support of parents' important efforts on behalf of their children.
