PACER Center has created new sets of videos and tip sheets for Latino and Somali families of children with autism and other disabilities. They provide information to help parents better advocate for their children at school and address common questions and concerns including how to ask for a special education evaluation, how to prepare for an IEP meeting, and more. The tip sheets are available in English and Spanish. The videos are available in English, Spanish, and Somali.
