Picture
The Committee for Special Education (CSE) is a parent-led, volunteer organization serving families of children with IEPs, GIEPs, and/or 504 Service Agreements in the Lower Merion School District since 1972.

​Our mission is to support families 
with information about laws and policies that affect families of children with educational, social, emotional, or medical needs.
The CSE offers:
  • Definitions and context around common terminology associated with Special Education including IEP, GIEPs, 504s, Annotated IEPs and general Community Resources.
  • Monthly Educational Programs.
  • CSE School Representatives. Each Lower Merion school has volunteer CSE Representatives with whom you can talk to and find out how to get connected and find resources in and around the district. 
  • Parent Socials.  Informal gatherings to meet and share information with other families. ​
  • Advocacy. The CSE helps families advocate for their children to obtain resources and services through training and parent/guardian supports. We work to expand opportunities for children and young adults with special needs.
  • Collaboration with LMSD administrators to share parent perspectives, improve programming and policies, and solve problems.
