SEPTA (Special Education Parent Teacher Association) organized for the specific purpose of providing information and support to parents of children with unique educational challanges, including children with 504 plans, IEP’s, receiving RTI or general building level support.

Our mission is to create a true sense of community for all families of children with disabilities, from EI and CPSE through high school to age 21. SEPTA sponsors educational speaker events, parent network nites, and library resources in an effort to provide all parents and care givers the resources they need and the support from others who travel the same path.

All are welcome. For more information, contact one of our SEPTA officers.
