Who is PEN?
PEN is a grant project of Partners Resource Network, Inc., one of three federally funded Parent Training and Information Centers (PTI) serving Texas parents of children and youth with disabilities from the ages of 0 to 22. Our mission is to empower parents of children and youth with disabilities in their roles as parents, decision makers, and advocates for their children. Our goal is to promote partnerships throughout the state among parents and professionals, parent organizations, school districts, and service agencies. We encourage parents and professionals to work together as PARTNERS and to focus on cooperation and collaboration. Our services include providing training, information, and technical assistance at no cost to parents throughout the state of Texas.
