About the National Advisory Council

Shaping the Future of Accessible IDEA Data

The Weiss Center's National Advisory Council (NAC) is a group of experts who provide guidance, support, and recommendations to the center. They provide unique voices from multiple perspectives including accessibility advocates, individuals from leading accessibility organizations, parents, state and local special education staff. The NAC helps strengthen the quality and community impact of Weiss Center's products and initiatives.
