How to Use the "Navigating Your Rights to Special Education in NJ: A Self-Advocacy Guide"

May 2026, Disability Rights New Jersey announced the launch of “Navigating Your Rights to Special Education in New Jersey: A Self-Advocacy Guide" to empower families with tools to navigate the notoriously complex special education system in New Jersey. The long-awaited 140+ page comprehensive manual was developed in response to an increasing demand for assistance as parents and guardians advocate for their students’ education and support needs. Disability Rights NJ's Children and Youth Practice Group attorneys hosted a live webinar for users to provide an inside look at the Self-Advocacy Guide, demonstrating how to navigate through it.
