What We Do

Project Accelerate is a nationwide resource hub member of the Wrightlaw army, the leading name in special education law. With the guidance of Catherine Michael, a top attorney practicing in five states, we’ve created practical special education resources that parents can use immediately to improve student outcomes and strengthen their child’s education.

We recognize that the system may not always provide the best school climate for students with unique needs. That’s why our focus is clear:
