3 WHO WE ARE The Maryland Association of Nonpublic Special Education Facilities (MANSEF) is a non-profit organization of special education schools which are approved by the Maryland State Department of Education, created to promote quality services for children and youth with disabilities. We serve more than 5,000 students between 3 and 21 years of age. WHAT WE DO MANSEF is committed to creating optimum educational opportunities in the least restrictive environment for all Maryland children and youth with disabilities. MANSEF unites a diverse community of educators, professionals, and parents into an accessible, visible, and effective organization that champions the continuum of services for special needs children and adolescents in Maryland. WHO WE SERVE MANSEF schools provide services for children and youth between 3 and 21 years of age who have at least one of the following cognitive, physical, sensory, emotional and/or behavioral disabilities: 01 intellectual disability 02 hearing impairment 03 deaf 04 speech or language impairment 05 visual impairment 06 emotional disability 07 orthopedic impairment 08 other health impairments 09 specific learning disabilities 10 multiple disabilities 12 deaf-blindness 13 traumatic brain injury 14 autism 15 developmental delay iii

4 Family Connections MANSEF s FAMILY CONNECTIONS is a family organization that promotes working together in a positive way to create positive outcomes for our children. Essentially, Family Connections will assist all of us (families, school personnel, and other interested parties) in making the lives of children and their families better in the area of access, voice and empowerment, when it comes to navigating through the system of care component of education. Depending upon your availability, there are several ways you can participate: 1. Get on the ing list. Once we have your contact information we will send you news and information relating to a variety of topics. 2. Meet other family members. We want to respond to your need to connect with other family members who are on a similar journey as you..caring for a child with special needs. Whether your journey is a short term jaunt or a long term excursion, we know the benefits of networking with others who can appreciate your joys and challenges because they are experiencing similar ones. 3. Respond to policy changes. Of any component within the system of care for children, Education is the one that is often the most challenging. On the one hand, we know our child has a legal right to an appropriate education; on the other hand there are a variety of opinions and legal issues which often confuse the best of us in terms of defining what is appropriate. We know we want our children to succeed in school and in life. Therefore, we want to be prepared to respond in the most effective manner to any policy and/or legislative changes which may arise, that may negatively impact our ability to access the most appropriate education for our child. 4. Training. Through the efforts of many fantastic advocates for children, family members now have the clout to effect change, require appropriate services and expect positive outcomes for their child with special needs throughout the Maryland system of care, of which Education is a crucial component. We know, however, the personal demands of caring for a child with special needs AND tending to other aspects of daily life often preclude us from knowing exactly where and how we fit into the process. For more information, contact Dorie Flynn, We want to hear from you! iv
