Special Needs Truth '08

"50 Best Blogs for Special Education Teachers"

I started this blog to cover the 2008 presidential campaign -- specifically, to compare the candidates' records, plans, and statements on special needs issues. I worked in the Clinton Administration, including the White House, but this was never intended to be a partisan blog -- I didn't want to see any of the candidates play politics with these issues and wanted to look beyond the rhetoric. After the election, I decided to continue the blog to encourage others to keep informed and involved.
