Special Ed Advocacy Center SEAC

Here is some basic information about the SEAC.

The Special Ed Advocacy Center ("SEAC"), established April 2004, is a non-profit, §501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization whose mission is to ensure that children with disabilities in the Chicago metropolitan area receive all appropriate educational services provided under current law. The SEAC service area includes: Cook, DuPage, Grundy, Kane, Kendall, Lake, McHenry and Will Counties.
The SEAC accomplishes its mission by providing free legal representation to low-income parents and caregivers of children with disabilities seeking to obtain appropriate educational and early intervention services for their children; educating parents and caregivers, school personnel and others through conducting programs concerning their rights and responsibilities under current special education law; and increasing public awareness and understanding of special education law.

Between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2010, the SEAC assisted 576 families by answering intake calls and representing parents and caregivers; conducted two dozen educational seminars; and participated in numerous educational programs for law students, educators and the special needs community.
Please know that the SEAC is ready to assist with any special education issues that arise during the 2011-2012 school year.

The SEAC's support comes from individuals interested in promoting SEAC’s  mission, grantmaking foundations, and corporate contribution programs. On occasion, fundraising special events may be conducted. The Special Ed Advocacy Center NFP welcomes your tax deductible contributions. Please give if you can.

I am attaching our general brochure in English, Russian, Polish and Spanish for added information and possible distribution.
