Dear Illinois Families:

On November 2, 2010, the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special

Education Programs (OSEP) will be visiting:

*

the Illinois Department of Human Services to review the effectiveness of

Illinois following the rules and regulations for Early Intervention Services

under Part C (0-3) of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA);

*

OSEP will also be visiting the Illinois State Board of Education to review

the effectiveness of Illinois following the rules and regulations under Part B

(3-21) of IDEA.

OSEP has requested the Parent Training and Information Centers of Illinois to

survey parents about their experience and knowledge with the special education

system in Illinois. This is a great opportunity for you to contribute to the

improvement of the delivery of special education services for the children with

disabilities in Illinois.

Please take a moment to complete the survey if you have children who have

recently received or are currently receiving special education services. We

invite you to forward this survey to other families for their input.

Disabilities at (312) 939-3513.

Thank you for your participation,
