As a parent navigating the special education system, what is your most important resource? Other parents! Massachusetts law requires that each school district have a Parent Advisory Counsel or PAC for short. Many PACs have monthly meetings, websites, Facebook pages, and email listservs. In Massachusetts, the Concord SEPAC has an extremely active email discussion list that includes parents, advocates, and other professionals from all over the state. If you haven't already, I would encourage you to join this or any other PAC listserv and begin to benefit from the advice and support that only other parents can offer.
