Next PALS Meeting

Wednesday, January 28, 2025 • 9:30a.m.

Does your child have a diagnosis that benefits from adaptive education? Difficulties with reading, writing, math, attention, speech, organization, gross or fine motor skills? Is school a daily struggle? Do you have questions about the special education process? Are you struggling with the implementation of your child’s I.E.P.? Do you need additional resources or help for your child? Whether your child is in pre-school, elementary, middle school, high school, or recently transitioned, we invite you to attend PALS meetings. We provide resources and opportunities to speak with other parents who listen, discuss, and lend support.

PALS shares notices from many organizations that you can find on our Resources Page. Please note, although a resource may be presented by an organization supporting a need your family does not have, the presentation may actually be of interest to you and helpful. We encourage you to look beyond the label. For instance, ADDitudes offer many virtual webinars that families outside the scope of ADD/ADHD may find beneficial. If you know of an event or opportunity and do not see it listed, please send it our way; palsfcinfo@gmail.com.

​

Additionally, at PALS, we believe in empowering families with knowledge. you will find a treasure trove of events, trainings, and opportunities aimed at navigating the world of children with disabilities and special education. While these events shared are for informational purposes and not created by PALS and do not necessarily reflect the views, beliefs, or official positions of PALS or participants, we encourage you to use your own judgement. Remember, your unique situation deserves careful consideration—always consult trusted professionals to guide you on your journey.
