The Mississippi Parent Training and Information Center provides training, information, and resources that empower parents of children with disabilities to guide their child’s educational journey. The MS PTI serves families of children of all ages (birth to 26) and all disabilities (physical, cognitive, behavioral, and emotional). We provide a variety of services including one-on-one support and assistance, workshops, publications, and Web sites. The majority of our staff and board are parents of children with disabilities, so they bring personal experience and empathy when working with families. Specifically, the MS PTI helps families to: -Better understand their children’s disabilities and educational needs -Communicate more effectively with school and related professionals -Understand their rights and responsibilities under IDEA -Obtain appropriate services for their children -Resolve disagreements with the school or other agencies -Connect with other community resources that assist children with disabilities
