Parents Encouraging Parents
by Brenda Petersen
The purpose of the PEP is to bring parents of children with disabilities together in an accepting and confidential environment, giving them the opportunity to share ideas, feelings, and common concerns, and to obtain information on parenting and educating a child with a disability. A major objective of the weekend is to help parents realize that each is doing the best he/she can at this time. By the end of the conference, parents will go home with renewed energy, spirit, hope and a desire to work closely with professionals who serve their child so that every child can experience the fullest life.
Who Should Attend?
This conference is open to all Nebraska parents who are are raising a child with a verified disability. The child with the disability must have either an active IFSP or IEP.
