With this Strategic Plan, the Division of Special Education/ Early Intervention Services recommits to "Moving Maryland Forward"--introduced in 2013. With the shifting in the national, State, and local education landscape, Maryland has revisited the initial Plan to sharpen the steadfast focus to narrow the gaps for children with disabilities from birth through age 21 for year 2020. To support the ultimate vision of closing opportunity and achievement gaps for all students, this sharpened Plan aligns and guides the work of the Division and the Department, compels stronger interagency and intra-agency collaboration in support of children and families, and serves as a necessary resource to educational leaders, parents, and stakeholders. The Plan refines key measures of success and key strategies for implementation, and expands innovative tools, resources, and evidence-based practices.
