Abstract

Special education has a long history of effective advocacy on the behalf of persons with disabilities and their families. In this article we describe our recent advocacy efforts as ACRES members on behalf of rural special education. In addition, we offer tips for others who want to be active in influencing policy and legislation through advocacy activities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
