Advocating for All, Arrow Leaders Visit Capitol Hill

This month, Arrow leaders joined education advocates from across the nation in Washington, D.C., as part of the National Association of Private Special Education Centers (NAPSEC). Together, they championed the importance of maintaining a full continuum of special education services for children and youth with diverse needs.

Arrow representatives met with the offices of Maryland federal officials, including Congressman Andy Harris, Senator Chris Van Hollen and Senator Angela Alsobrooks. These meetings opened the door to meaningful conversations about increasing federal funding for the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), preserving critical Medicaid support for treatment services, and promoting equity and dignity for people of all abilities.

It was an honor to represent Arrow’s mission on the Hill—and to do so alongside our dedicated NAPSEC partners.
