Innovative Learning Solutions

In August 2009, the U.S.ED announced the award of more than $4.5 million in grants to operate 16 special education parent information and training centers in 14 states, including targeted centers for American Indians and military families. Parent information centers provide parents with the training and information they need to work with special education professionals in meeting the early intervention and special needs of children with disabilities. The announcement of new grants is available on the U.S. ED web site. A complete listing of parent information and training centers nationwide is available on the Technical Assistance Alliance for Parent Center’s Web site.
