Parent Training and Information Centers (PTIs)

Parent Training and Information Centers (PTIs) are programs in the United States that provide information, training, and support to families of children with disabilities. Funded by the federal government, these centers help parents understand their rights and the special education process, ensuring they can advocate effectively for their children. PTIs offer resources, workshops, and one-on-one assistance to empower parents and improve educational outcomes for their children. The ultimate goal is to enhance the family's ability to participate in decisions regarding their child’s education and services.
