1. PARTNERS IN EDUCATION - This six hour self-directed course was created to help parents of children with developmental disabilities understand and maximize the special education system. The course focuses on a child's right to a free appropriate public education, the laws that protect those rights and offers practical ways that parents can ensure that their children benefit from an inclusive education. This course was developed by the Minnesota Governor's Council on Developmental Disabilities.

2. MAKING YOUR CASE - This three hour self-study course is designed to help people with disabilities and their families create positive change through advocacy. The course helps participants understand the legislative process, the essential elements of good advocacy, identify and research personal issues, then advocate for systems change as individuals and as part of larger community efforts. The course includes opportunities to put what has been learned into practice through a series of interactive exercises. This course was developed by the Minnesota Governor's Council on Developmental Disabilities.
