Description
Federal law requires that all schools create emergency operations plans to support persons with disabilities and other special needs; however, in the rush to make schools safe such considerations can be overlooked. Each special need has factors that have to be considered as part of crisis preparedness efforts. This presentation provides with participants information on school safety planning and recovery that will help them address the unique needs of persons with disabilities and specials needs.
