On April 20, 2022 the Collective welcomed CPAC’s Co-Executive Director, Jane Hampton-Smith,  to lead an interactive workshop on the services that CPAC can provide to the families, and what services families may need in the aftermath of COVID-19.

Connecticut Parent Advocacy Center, Inc. (CPAC) is a statewide nonprofit organization that offers information and support to families of children with any disability or chronic illness, age birth through 26. The Center is committed to the idea that parents can be the most effective advocates for their children, given the confidence that knowledge and understanding of special education law and its procedures can bring.

MISSION: The mission of the Connecticut Parent Advocacy Center is to educate, support, and empower Connecticut’s diverse families of children and youth with any disability or chronic conditions, ages birth to 26, and the professionals who serve them.
VISION: All families will have the confidence, knowledge and understanding they need to effectively advocate for their children and to partner with professionals to ensure the children and youth grow and learn to their full potential.

Here is the recording of the workshop.
