Education Forward Arizona invites you to view a recording of our July Power Hour. Join us as we explore how Arizona’s K–12 schools are serving students with disabilities and how the rise in autism diagnoses is shaping classrooms across the state.

We will be joined by expert guest speakers: Karla Phillips-Krivickas, founder of Champions for Kids and one of the nation’s foremost thought leaders on education policy and reform; and Rachel Anderson, MA, a licensed Board-Certified Behavior Analyst and the Chief Clinical Officer at the Southwest Autism Research & Resource Center.

We’ll dive into data that highlights who these students are, how they’re doing, and national trends affecting their education. This session will also discuss the rising rates of autism and what that means for schools.
