Why Leadership in Special Education? Why You?As Parents you are the leaders in your family. You have unique experiences, and expertise that others can benefit from. You can develop your skills to become a stronger more effective voice with a wider and more direct influence on issues that matter to you. You can bring people together to build and sustain support and resources in your community. You will grow beyond your family struggles and emerge as a spearhead of action, a leader who inspires others to do the same.
Why train parents?
Many parents of children with disabilities want to become more involved in school improvement initiatives. But in order for parents to successfully participate as members of these partnership teams, they need to understand the overall special education system and how to successfully work with school district personnel. The New Hampshire Connections project is excited to offer the Parent Leadership in Special Education Training (PLinSET). This training is designed to develop and utilize the leadership skills of parents of children with disabilities so that they may assume leadership positions in parent support groups, in school improvement activities and to support school personnel.

Thanks for all you do every day to build family-school partnership in special education!
