What PPA Means to Me

“I am proud to be part of the movement of increased parent engagement and active student engagement for students with IEPs in our district. I am proud of the collaborations I have been able to foster through the CAFE and the community events that have continued even when the CAFE did not return after COVID. I am proud to serve my fellow parent mentors during reporting or as region representative. I think the accomplishments I treasure the most are the ones that do not make it to the paper or the website: walking alongside a parent as she navigates what comes with an IEP. Sharing the possibilities with parents who have not dared to consider what the future holds and assisting them to develop a plan towards that future.” – Amanda Locke
