New Hampshire Disability Advocates Unite Against Federal Special Education Cuts
October 28, 2025 - 21:57
Angelina Leo, a senior at Exeter High School, has voiced her concerns regarding potential cuts to federal funding for special education. Leo, who lives with physical and learning disabilities, credits the special education services she has received throughout her academic journey for her ability to communicate effectively. Without this support, she believes she would not have been able to develop essential skills such as reading and writing.
Leo's story is a testament to the importance of special education programs, which play a critical role in the lives of many students with disabilities. As federal proposals threaten funding, advocates within New Hampshire's disability community have come together to rally against these cuts. They argue that reducing financial support for special education could severely impact students' learning experiences and outcomes.
The community emphasizes that every child deserves access to quality education tailored to their unique needs. As discussions continue at the federal level, the voices of students like Leo are vital in highlighting the significance of maintaining robust special education services.
