We're excited to announce an opportunity for special education parents to connect, share experiences, and offer valuable input. We believe that your voices are essential in shaping the best possible educational environment for our children.

This is an informal gathering – a chance for us to come together as a community and support one another. Whether you have specific concerns you'd like to discuss, suggestions for improvement, or simply want to connect with other parents who understand the unique journey of special education, we encourage you to attend.

We'll be offering both in-person and virtual options so you can choose what works best for you.
