Read on Newport Daily News.

Rep. Terri Cortvriend, Rep. Lauren H. Carson and Rep. Julie A. Casimiro will host an open virtual meeting with parents of special needs children in Rhode Island to review bills they have introduced to help parents secure appropriate special education services for their children.

The community forum, scheduled Monday, March 8, from 4-6 p.m., has been arranged in conjunction with the Arc of Rhode Island, which has joined forces with a group of over 100 Rhode Island parents who have faced challenges in securing appropriate special education services for their children.
