Welcome to the Medway's Special Education Parent Advisory Council
|
The Medway SEPAC offers 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. We provide feedback to the district on special education programs and policies, and participate in their planning and development.
Meetings are open to all parents, teachers, specialists, and others with an interest in education in our surrounding communities.

What does Parent Advisory Council (PAC) do?
We offer information and opportunities for Parents of children in preschool, elementary, middle, high school and in private schools in Medway. We have monthly meetings, presentations on a variety of topics in advocacy, information, and community resources for our families. We offer tools, strategies, and as much information as is possible to parents and children with special needs.
Who we are?
Our membership is open to parents or (guardians) of children who have Individualized Education Program (IEP), 504 plan or anyone interested in special education in Medway. We are parents of children who have learning differences. We are a resource for support, networking, and information.
Your participation will provide a unique opportunity for you in interact and connect with other parents who are going through the same issues you are. Our meetings are a place where you can ask questions and discuss concerns, and learn something new. Your personal input is extremely valuable to our community.
What we are not-- personal special educational advocates, but we can lead you to resources and give you support. You are not alone!
