FLDOE Free Resources for Families; Teachers – As Florida continues to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and while students are at home during their summer break, the Florida Department of Education has compiled a list of free resources, offered by state and federal agencies, private companies, and non-profit organizations to help school districts, colleges, educators and families to combat the “summer slide” and prepare for the re-opening of schools in fall 2020.
The Morgan Project
The M.O.R.G.A.N. Project is a national, community-based organization of volunteers dedicated to promoting awareness and facilitating support of parents caring for their children with special health care needs, thereby enhancing the Quality-of-Life for these special families.
The M.O.R.G.A.N. Project’s Quality of Life support programs for children with disabilities have been designed around one very simple value: to make the parents’ job of caring for their own special-needs child in the family home just a little bit easier.
National Center on Secondary Education and Transition
The National Center on Secondary Education and Transition (NCSET) was established to create opportunities for youth with disabilities to achieve successful futures. NCSET provides technical assistance and disseminates information focused on four major areas of national significance for youth with disabilities and their families —
• Providing students with disabilities with improved access and success in the secondary education curriculum.
• Ensuring that students achieve positive postschool results in accessing postsecondary education, meaningful employment, independent living and participation in all aspects of community life.
• Supporting student and family participation in educational and postschool decision making and planning.
• Improving collaboration and system linkages at all levels through the development of broad-based partnerships and networks at the national, state, and local levels.
