Life Maker in 2020: “Unified” School Program Legislation in Concord

Mike Dennehy-Dennehy & Bouley

In 2019, we wrote about the growing movement across NH to expand “Unified” school programs. In 2020, the movement is strengthening!

Dennehy & Bouley worked with Special Olympics New Hampshire, and other organizations, to pass a Commission through the state legislature in 2019 which was: A COMMISSION TO STUDY EQUAL ACCESS AND OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES TO PARTICIPATE IN COCURRICULAR ACTIVITIES.

In the Fall of 2019, that Commission researched the positive impact that “Unified” programs have on schools and what can be done to expand them further.
