Resource Hub
Navigating the education system for a child with a disability, chronic illness, or complex healthcare need can be challenging. We are grateful to our partnering agencies that specialize in this type of support to families.
As Tennessee’s Parent Training and Information Center, they are dedicated to supporting families of children and youth with disabilities who are navigating special education services and youth who are transitioning from high school into adulthood. They provide accurate, timely, and relevant information and training related to special education rights, equal access to quality education, and connections to community resources.
