Providing parents of children with disabilities
with information, training, assistance, and support
CFPC Support Parent Programs
Parents of children with disabilities have shared that they receive the best information and emotional support from other parents of children with disabilities. We have two parent-matching programs here at CFPC:
1.)
CFPC Support Parents are
veteran parents with whom we
match
other parents who are
in
need of emotional support.
2.) CFPC IEP Support Parents
are trained veteran parents
with whom we match other
parents who are in need of
help with their child's IEP.
With either program, support
might be offered by email, over the phone, or in person, depending upon
specific circumstances.
And yes, a support person might be able to attend an IEP with you - not as an advocate (you are your child's advocate!) but as a support to you.
If you would like to be
matched up with an
