I believe that the empowerment of parents as advocates for their children is one of the keys to success in Special Education. I would like to recommend a website pertinent to parents in the Tidewater Region of Virginia.
www.peatc.org This is the Parent Educational Advocacy Center. From their website:
"The Parent Educational Advocacy Training Center builds positive futures for Virginia's children by working collaboratively with families, schools and communities in order to improve opportunities for excellence in education and success in school and community life. Our special focus is children with disabilities. We do this by providing:
- Services and support for families and professionals;
- Easy-to-understand, research-based information and training; and
- Opportunities for strategic partnerships and advocacy for systemic improvement."
