Self-Advocacy Skill Building
Center for Parent Information & Resources
Thanks for joining us.We’re glad you’re here.
“Self-Advocacy Skill Building” is a priority for Parent Centers.
To quote from OSEP’s recent application package
At a minimum, the PTIs must:
(a) increase parents’ capacity to help their children with disabilities improve their early learning, school-aged, and postsecondary outcomes; and
(b) increase youth with disabilities’ capacity to be effective self-advocates.
What more is said in the recent RFPs for PTIs?
See the handout for this webinar, online at:
