Community Listening Session: Special Education Supports & Navigation Across Illinois
Family Matters PTIC invites parents and caregivers of children and youth with disabilities to participate in a Community Listening Session focused on navigating special education supports across Illinois. FMPTIC will host several Community Listening Sessions over the next 12 months. Registration is currently open for our first event at Oak Lawn Public Library on February 25 from 11:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
This interactive session is an opportunity to:
Share your experiences navigating special education
Talk about what supports are working—and where challenges exist
Identify learning and support needs for families
Help shape how a Parent Training and Information Center (PTIC) can best support families and strengthen collaboration with school teams
Your voice matters, and your input will help guide FMPTIC’s future trainings, resources, and family supports. Please note you must be the parent or guardian of a current student receiving Special Education services in Illinois to participate. Registration is required and is capped at 35 participants.
