National PTA Launches Special Education Listserv
Realizing that PTA members with children with disabilities are often geographically dispersed and, in some cases, isolated from other parents facing similar issues, National PTA has created a listserv to facilitate the sharing of information and resources. The listserv also will provide National PTA a public forum to keep PTA members informed on issues affecting students with disabilities and will help National PTA staff effectively respond to issues facing this segment of our membership. This listserv is the most recent development in local and National PTA efforts to provide support to families of children with disabilities. There are 172 local PTAs dedicated to special education issues nationwide, including units in California, Connecticut, Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, and Texas. To join the listserv, go to http://pta.org/specialed and fill out the required fields. If you have any questions regarding this listserv, contact Melina Wright, National PTA's federal lobbyist on disability issues, at mwright@pta.org or Shahenaz Chhipa, the listserv administrator, at schhipa@pta.org. ***********************************************
