Newton Special Education Parent Advisory Council
If your child has an IEP or 504 plan, or you are interested in possible special education services for your child, Newton’s SEPAC (Special Education Parent Advisory Council) is a resource you may want to explore. There are lots of wonderful resources for Newton parents and SEPAC can help you find them and connect with other parents as well.
The Newton Special Education Parent Advisory Council (SEPAC) serves as a liaison between parents of students with special needs and school district administrators. We offer information to the community on a range of disabilities, resources, remediation approaches, and education issues. Topics presented at our monthly meetings include parents’ rights under special education laws and regulations, effective collaboration with teachers and administrators, and strategies for parenting and teaching children with disabilities. Meetings are open to all parents, teachers, specialists, and others with an interest in education. We also run the Newton SEPAC online discussion group as a forum for parents to exchange information and share suggestions for community resources. For more information, contact us at info@newtonpac.org or view our brochure.
