Why Legally Learning?
Imagine a world where every child has the confidence and knowledge to stand up for themselves. Unfortunately, many of our young people suffer in silence, lacking the skills to advocate for their rights, their needs, and their futures. Self-advocacy is a fundamental skill that encompasses knowing your rights, understanding yourself, effective communication, and leadership. These are the building blocks of a just and equitable society.
For a student with disabilities, self-advocacy means having the courage to speak up about challenges. For a young professional, it means being heard and respected in the workplace. In the broader context, it means understanding and asserting one's rights to avoid oppression and injustice. Without these skills, our youth are left vulnerable, unable to realize their full potential.
Bridging the Gap
Despite the clear importance of self-advocacy, instruction in this area is alarmingly rare in schools. Educators recognize its value but are often overwhelmed by the demands of increasing student achievement in core academic subjects. There is a significant gap between what we know and what we practice. This is where Legally Learning steps in.
How We Create Change
Legally Learning bridges this gap by integrating law, self-advocacy, and State Common Core Standards into a comprehensive program offered at no charge to schools. This curriculum not only enhances students' reading and writing skills but also equips them with the tools to advocate for themselves throughout their lives.
Through authentic legal texts, students engage deeply with the material, gaining practical knowledge and skills. Special Education Law curriculum versions help to remove social stigmas, ensuring that every student, regardless of their background or abilities, is included and empowered.
Our Call To Action

By supporting Legally Learning, you are investing in a generation that will be more informed, more confident, and more capable of standing up for justice and equality. Together, we can ensure that every child has the opportunity to stand up for themselves and succeed. Let us take this crucial step towards a brighter, more equitable future for all.
