Level The Desk
Learning differently shouldn’t mean learning less
A student-led movement demanding federal funding, mandatory screenings, and radical accountability for the 1 in 5 students with learning disabilities
40%
THE PROMISE
The federal funding for IDEA promised by Congress in 1975.
13%
THE
REALITY
The actual average funding provided to schools today.
1 in 5
THE
IMPACT
Students who learn differently and are being left behind.
The Heart of the Mission
For my sister, and for the 1 in 5 students like her, an IEP isn’t just a stack of paperwork – it’s a legal promise of an equal opportunity. But across the country, that promise is being broken every single day. We are tired of watching brilliant minds with learning disabilities be diminished by a system that views their needs as a burden rather than a right. Level The Desk exists to stop the excuses, challenge the Department of Education, and ensure that ‘special education’ actually means the specialized attention these students deserve.
