ABLE NH is deeply concerned about the proposed consolidation of special education services in New Hampshire schools, as reported by the Concord Monitor. This move risks turning inclusive education into a numbers game. Consolidation without thoughtful planning can strip students with disabilities of meaningful inclusion and full participation in their school communities.
Inclusion is more than access to academics. It’s about being part of the classroom, the playground, the chorus, the science fair and every part of school life where friendships are formed and community is built.
Removing students from their local schools or segregating services undermines their right to belong, to be known, and to be valued.

On World Autism Day—and every day—we celebrate the incredible strengths, talents, and diverse experiences of the autistic community. Autistic people bring so much value to our world with their unique perspectives and capabilities. Autism is a neurological difference that impacts how people experience and interact with the world around them. There is no one way to be autistic.
As many in the autism community say, “If you’ve met one autistic person, you’ve met one autistic person.” Some may need little to no support, while others require more comprehensive services and accommodation throughout their lives. Let’s accept, embrace, and provide opportunities for all autistic people to thrive! An inclusive world benefits us all.
