Special Education Mediation
Special Education Mediation
The New York Dispute Resolution Association (NYSDRA, Inc.) began administering the special education mediation program for New York State in 1990. The program offers services to school districts and families throughout New York State.
While the program has expanded and changed over the years, NYSDRA’s commitment to dispute resolution remains the core value of the services offered through this program.
NYSDRA working with the New York State Department of Education Office of Special Education envisioned a new program that not only administers and oversees the special education mediation program including training of mediators, their continuing education, and data collection, but a centralized location for those seeking assistance with special education disputes. From this vision, the Special Education Dispute Resolution Center (SEDRC) was born.
Special education mediation is a free service that can help resolve conflict quickly, improve relationships between families and districts, and keep the focus on student success. SEDRC provides information and access to free mediation to help resolve special education conflicts. SEDRC serves parents, guardians, and school districts throughout New York State.
SEDRC is a program of the New York State Department of Education, Office of Special Education, and is managed and administered by the New York State Dispute Resolution Association (NYSDRA, Inc.).
