Welcome to 
The special education laws established to guide schools in their practice of providing services to students and their families are often difficult to understand and impossible to navigate. C.A.S.T., which stands for Collaborative Advocacy of South Texas, is an advocacy group that works with families and schools to align their goals to provide the greatest educational benefit for the student. C.A.S.T. works with parents and guardians of students with disabilities to help them understand what should be expected from a public school special education program and what is within their rights of the law. C.A.S.T. also works with schools to assist in their goal of building a family-school relationship and understanding the needs of families of children with disabilities.
