INFORMATION FROM INTERMEDIATE UNIT 10:
Parent
Support Group for Parents of a Child
with a Disability – “The Local Task Force”
Welcome!
Understanding
special education and the process of special education at times can be
confusing and challenging. The parent support group of your intermediate
unit region is called the Local Task Force (LTF). This group is comprised
of parents of children with disabilities, agencies that provide support to
parents of children with disabilities, intermediate unit support, and local
education agencies (public school representatives, charter school
representatives, and cyber charter school representatives).
The
purpose of the LTF is to outsource information and supports to parents of
children with a disability. These supports may be provided in the form of
meetings, trainings, emails, video links, and other varied informational
channels. The LTF meets at a minimum five times a year to provide this
information exchange. The Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson of the LTF not
only facilitates these LTF meetings, they also provide advocacy support to
members and other parents that seek guidance and support as it relates to their
children.
One of
the most valuable attributes of the LTF, besides information sharing, is the
parent networking, sharing each other’s experiences and challenges in
maneuvering through the different avenues of information and support in raising
their child.
If you
wish to get involved with your LTF, please contact the individuals below to
share your desire in joining the LTF within your intermediate unit region or to
receive more information.
Also,
listed below are the LTF scheduled meeting dates, times, and locations.
Please feel free to come to the meetings to get a better idea on how the
LTF works. The LTF is always looking at increasing attendance of new
parents and other supporting individuals.
Sincerely,
Your
Local Task Force
