Did You Know? That Each State Has a Parent Training and Information Center and Has Local Training on Transition to Adulthood?
Find Your Parent Center
Families with a child who has a disability often need information about the disability of their child, about early intervention (for babies and toddlers), school services (for school-aged children), therapy, local policies, transportation, and much more. Every State has at least one Parent Training and Information Center (PTI) to offer families just this kind of information. Many States also have a Community Parent Resource Center (CPRC), which offers the same type of support and training to parents of children with disabilities. For a quick read on what PTIs and CPRCs do, and how they can help parents and families of children with disabilities
Find Your Parent Center at www.parentcenterhub.org/find-your-%20center/ [1] to find the PTI or CPRC that serves your State or territory. Simply click on your State to see the contact information for the PTIs and CPRCs serving families in your State (you may need to scroll down the list to see them all).
