Parents Encouraging Parents (PEP) Conferences are family-centered conferences designed to offer support, information, and education to parents and professionals. PEP promotes the partnerships that are essential in supporting and including children with disabilities and their families in all aspects of the school and community.
We invite you to attend the PEP Conference:
February 25-27, 2010 – Colorado Springs
These conferences are available to persons residing in Colorado who have a child with a
disability - ages birth to twenty-one. Administrators, principals, teachers, medical and other service providers interested in the Family-Professional Partnership are also invited to participate in the PEP Conference.
The two and one-half day PEP Conference begins Thursday evening, at 5:00 p.m. and
continues through Saturday afternoon, at 3:00 p.m. The Colorado Department of Education pays for all participant meals (excluding Friday evening) and lodging. Child care and meals for family members are NOT provided. With these provisions, we hope to provide the opportunity of the PEP experience to all interested families.
The purpose of this conference is to bring parents and professionals together, allowing them an opportunity to share ideas, discuss concerns, celebrate successes, and obtain information relating to parenting, educating, and supporting a child with a disability.
