CADRE (Center for Appropriate Dispute Resolution in Special Education)
The Center for Appropriate Dispute Resolution in Special Education (CADRE), a national technical assistance and dissemination project, works toward elevating the capacity of educators, family members, service providers and other stakeholders to engage in collaborative problem-solving and other positive, non-adversarial processes. Ultimately, this approach results in better educational programs and outcomes for students with disabilities. CADRE delivers high quality technical assistance and informational support to state education agencies (Part B), early intervention lead agencies (Part C), parent centers, local education agencies, local early intervention providers, and dispute resolution practitioners.
