We are a cross-functional team comprised of parents, educators and school administrators.
The group’s function is to inform and empower parents whose children have special education needs. The group meets once a month to discuss educational needs, identify resources and design programs. Membership is open to individuals who have a vested interest in special education in the city of Waltham. _________________
