Learning Opportunities from the Parent Educational Advocacy Training Center (PEATC)

The Parent Educational Advocacy Training Center (PEATC) is the parent information and training center serving families and professionals of children with disabilities in the Commonwealth of Virginia. PEATC promotes respectful, collaborative partnerships between parents, schools, professionals, and the community that increase the possibilities of success for children with disabilities.

PEATC provides families of students with disabilities many training opportunities throughout the year, such as Transition University, a free parent-friendly five-week, self-paced online transition course. It is never too early to start learning about students with disabilities transitioning to adulthood and it is never too early to begin taking steps to prepare for the future, so register for Transition University today!

For more information about Transition University, as well as PEATC's many other offerings, please refer to PEATC's online calendar of events, where you will find course descriptions and registration information.
