SEPTA consists of parents whose children have varying degrees of ability. SEPTA serves as a clearing house for information of interest to parents of children (birth to 21 years) with special needs on various programs, funding, state and federal laws, and advocacy. SEPTA is also a source of information on the many challenges of adjustment, growth, and development our members face. Membership in SEPTA is not restricted to parents/students enrolled in special education programs or receiving special services. It is open to any interested parent, student, teacher, or administrator. In fact, we would gladly welcome your support. SEPTA has regular meetings, just as any other PTA, with speakers to run lectures or workshops on pressing issues, such as ever-changing federal and state legislation. SEPTA is a warm place where members can network and share information, referrals, or books. It’s a place to share our worries and successes and it’s nice to have someone there to lend an ear. Please join us!
