About the Federal Resource Center for Special Education (FRC)
The FRC supports a nationwide technical assistance network to respond to the needs of students with disabilities, especially students from under-represented populations. Through its work with the Regional Resource Centers (RRCs) and the technical assistance networks, the FRC provides a national perspective for establishing technical assistance activities within and across regions by identifying and synthesizing emerging issues and trends.
In addition, the FRC works with the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) to plan national conferences of education professionals, with the object of communicating OSEP priorities and promoting positive systemic change in special education programs across the nation.
The FRC is a five-year cooperative agreement between the Academy for Educational Development (AED) and the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs.
