Introducing Parent-to-Parent Network

Massapequa SEPTA proudly announces the launch of its newest initiative to help the parents of students living in the Massapequa District: the Parent-to-Parent Network. The Network is intended to be a practical resource for parents of students with special needs. Parent-Volunteers who have experienced the emotions of having children with special needs and who have navigated the special education system are offering to share their experiences with other parents. While not professionals, these Parent-Volunteers hope to serve as a source of comfort and guidance to similarly situated parents.
