Welcome

When families and schools work together, everyone benefits… especially our children!

The Family-School Partnership is a NYSED-funded Special Education Parent Center, serving the Mid-West region of New York State. Our goal is to facilitate parent-school collaboration by providing parents of children with disabilities with information and skill-building opportunities. Building effective partnerships between families and schools is the driving force for our work. We provide workshops and resources to families and the professionals who work with them.

If you have questions, need help, or would like more information about our workshops, please contact us.

All services are free to parents and all information is confidential.
