As the largest volunteer child advocacy association in the nation, the National Parent Teacher Association (PTA) offers useful information and support to many thousands of parents to help them stay involved in the lives of their children. The National PTA reminds our country of its obligations to children and provides parents and families with a powerful voice to speak on behalf of every child while providing the best tools for parents to help their children be successful students. National PTA does not act alone. Working in cooperation with many national education, health, safety, and child advocacy groups and federal agencies, National PTA collaborates on projects that benefit children and that bring valuable resources to its members.
Parent Training and Information Centers (PTIs) are authorized
in Part D of the Individuals with Disabilities Education
Act (IDEA) and are funded by the U. S. Department of Education,
Office of Special Education Programs. Parent centers serve
families of children and young adults from birth to age
22 with all disabilities: physical, cognitive, emotional,
and learning.
