Our Mission
To make every child's potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children.

Our Vision

Act as a resource for the special education community (parents, caregivers and staff) and share experiences in advocating for children to implement successful family-school partnerships. Continue outreach to those who may not be connected with their school community.
