Parents Encouraging Parents Conference
March 16-18, 2017 @ Younes Conference Center, Kearney, NE
Are you a Nebraska parent of a child with special needs?
Then this conference is for you! No registration fee! Two nights' lodging and most meals furnished!
The purpose of 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. Parents will go home with renewed energy, hope and a desire to work closely with professionals who serve their child so that every child can experience the fullest life.
This conference is open to all Nebraska parents who are raising a child with a verified disability. The child must have an active IFSP/IEP.
A small number of openings are reserved for education professionals who serve children with disabilities and are employed in NE school districts. Professionals will experience PEP from a parent perspective.
