Please join us for a virtual listening session with the Office of Special
Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS):

 

The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Special Education and
Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) invites parents, students, teachers,
paraprofessionals, school staff, individuals with disabilities, and other
disability stakeholders across the nation to participate in a virtual
listening session. You are invited to share your personal experiences with
special education and vocational rehabilitation, including stories of
success and challenges and any matters you would like the Department to hear
as we work to empower parents, teachers, and local leaders and return
education to the states.

 

OSERS leadership will be in attendance to hear from participants. The
Department intends only to listen to feedback; no information will be
shared, and Department staff will not engage in discussion. Please note that
opportunities to speak are on a first-come, first-serve basis, and will
include a 3-min max time per speaker. For registered participants unable to
participate due to time constraints, listening session remarks may be
submitted by email to a designated inbox. Consistent with the structure of
the listening session, the Department will not respond to emailed session
remarks.

 

This session will be closed to the press and strictly off the record.

 

WHEN:         Wednesday, January 28, 2026

                         12:00 - 3:00 pm EST
