Students, faculty/staff, families, friends, partners, and the broader community are invited to participate, learn, and engage on important policy issues impacting people with learning differences. This Advocacy Fair will feature informational booths and provide attendees with with the tools to directly contact members of Congress, focusing on key legislation, including the IDEA Full Funding Act and the RISE Act.
