Our Initiatives
Empowering Special Education: Democratizing Research, Enhancing Services, and Empowering Educators
The Aletheia Society initiatives are dedicated to improving special education research and services for children with disabilities. Central to these efforts is our commitment to democratizing the research enterprise, ensuring that research is accessible to all. Additionally, we provide professional development programs to educators, equipping them with evidence-based practices derived from our research, enabling them to better support students with disabilities in their classrooms.
