Parents Encouraging Parents (PEP) Conferences are designed for Colorado parents and professionals of children with disabilities in public school, aged birth to 21.
Decades of research show that the participation of families in their child’s education, through specific coordinating between home and school, results in improved outcomes (Jeynes, 2012). PEP Conferences are designed to promote family and school partnerships that are essential in supporting students with disabilities and their families in schools and the community. PEP brings parents and professionals together by sharing ideas, discussing concerns, celebrating successes, and obtaining information related to parenting, educating, and partnering to support student learning. PEP Conferences are offered at no cost to attendees.
