Students with disabilities face a range of obstacles in the classroom. These can include challenges with hearing, sight, mobility, and developmental disabilities. What services and programs do schools offer these students, and what happens when these are not available? We'll also find out how those who reach adulthood transition when services are no longer available.
This program is part of our series “Ready & Able: Living with a Disability in Maine.”
