CADRE

The Center for Appropriate Dispute Resolution in Special Education (CADRE) increases the nation's capacity to effectively resolve special education disputes, reducing the use of expensive adversarial processes. We strongly believe families, educators, students and their educational programs benefit when adversarial encounters are avoided and differences are resolved through positive communication and collaboration.

  • We emphasize and encourage the use of mediation, facilitation, and other collaborative processes to resolve disagreements between parents and schools regarding children's educational programs and support services.

  • We supports parents, educators, administrators, attorneys, and advocates to benefit from the full continuum of dispute resolution options that can prevent and resolve conflict and ultimately lead to informed partnerships that focus on results for children and youth.

  • We provide a variety of technical assistance services including training, data analysis, systems improvement, and resource development.
