3/7/2008 Chronicle: The episode of Chronicle which originally aired last November will be shown again this Friday, March 7, 2008 at 7:30 p.m. After watching, we found that the show presented a more balanced view than we had expected. I would encourage any of you that missed it to please tune in.

11/14/2007 Chronicle: We understand that Chronicle (which airs in Boston on WCVB Channel 5) will be doing a story on Special Education. The show will air on Friday, November 16, 2007 at 7:30 p.m. It is unclear to us what particular angle will be investigated.

Please refer to: Chronicle Story & Forum

Back in September 2007, we contacted WCVB in response to a Team 5 story which aired in September. We felt that the particular story perpetuated some of the "bad press" and misinformation about the delivery and budgetary impact of special education services. I am hopeful that the piece on Chronicle will present a more evenhanded perspective.

07/05/2007 Boston Globe: This article, written by Carey Goldberg, and the related forum "Have you hit roadblocks..." really highlights the misinformation and ignorance relating to Special Education. Some of the comments were simply outrageous. It was my inspiration for creating Truth About SPED.
