AJE shared earlier in the year that we received funding from the DC Developmental Disabilities Council to support a new project here – the IDEA Accessibility Project.

This funding from the DC DDC will be utilized to increase the accessibility of the IDEA Procedural Safeguards and increase the understanding of them in the community.  The safeguards are found in a long document that details parents’ and students’ rights in special education.  Many families struggle to understand the information in the safeguards.  The IDEA Accessibility Project will transform the safeguards into short and simple whiteboard animation art videos in English and in Spanish.  Those whiteboards will also be available in both digital and physical format.

AJE is continuing to accept proposals from individuals interested in creating those whiteboard animation art videos.  A detailed Request for Proposals (RFP) is available here.

Submissions of interest, including a cover letter, portfolio samples, hourly or per item rate, references and cost estimate must be received by information@aje-dc.org due ASAP. Submissions should use “IDEA Accessibility Project” as the subject line for their emailed submission.
