SPAN’s Parent Group Specialists (PGSs) provide information, resources, and training related to the following components:
-
- Inclusion of students with disabilities,
- Improving literacy achievement for all students,
- Informing parents and professionals about the New Jersey Tiered System of Supports (NJTSS) framework, and
- Developing parent groups, including Special Education Parent Advisory Groups (SEPAGs).
PGSs guide parent and district leaders in building their knowledge, skills, and confidence to develop collaborative family-school partnerships to optimize successful outcomes for all students. PGSs do not provide legal advice or representation.
