Together We Can Make a Difference!
LIASEA is a group of special education administrators who are responsible for programs and services for students with disabilities in public and private schools.
We provide invaluable opportunities to dialogue with others who possess experience and have knowledge of the issues that challenge special education administrators and the constituencies which they serve.
