Life skills, activities of daily living, functional skills, adaptive skills or adaptive behavior, it can get confusing that all of these terms are used to describe the skills we need for everyday living.

There  are a number of groups in the state of Connecticut who  lobby on behalf  of children who have disabilities, but none represent  parents of  children who have disabilities.  That’s why we created SEEK  of CT.  Special Education Equity for Kids of Connecticut plays an  essential  role in influencing policies and legislative efforts on  behalf of  students with disabilities.  SEEK  will also offer parents  advocacy tools essential for securing appropriate special education  services.

We’ve had so many parents tell us that it’s overwhelming to learn about special education rights from the  dizzying number of resources available on the internet. We get it, so we decided to break things down and simplify it. We’re not scripted, we  explain it to you like we would want someone to explain it to us. We want you to “get it” and be able to “use it” in your own IEP meeting.
