The National Center for Learning Disabilities (NCLD) has created this essential guide for educators about privacy laws and online learning. The shift has raised questions about how to protect student data privacy, particularly for students in special education. A new guide from the National Center for Learning Disabilities and the Future of Privacy Forum addresses educators concerns and summarizes key privacy laws. The guide reviews laws like FERPA, COPPA, HIPPA, and more, and highlights exactly how each law applies to distance learning.

This guide, along with other resources, can be found on the NCLD website, and also attached to this resource: https://www.ncld.org/news/policy-and-advocacy/student-privacy-special-ed...
