SANTA FE – Today, the New Mexico Developmental Disabilities Council (NMDDC) launched the Office of the Special Education Ombud (OSEO), a new statewide office that provides personalized assistance to students and families navigating the special education system in New Mexico public schools. The Special Education Ombud Act, passed in the 2021 legislative regular session, authorizes the NMDDC to establish the OSEO and appoint a special education state ombud to act as a champion for families in a special education system that has too often frustrated and failed those it is charged to serve.
