About The Education Working Group:
The Education Working Group is organized by the United States Attorney’s
Office for the District of Connecticut and is composed of representatives from state and federal agencies, nonprofits,
and the community at large. The group meets regularly to discuss the civil rights issues that arise in education and
child-care settings. This year’s focus topic is children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, but the group works to help
children and parents with all types of disabilities.
