Parent Resource Center

The PREP/Parent Resource Center provides information and support to families of children and youth with disabilities.  Many school divisions in Virginia operate Parent Resource Centers for parents and guardians of children receiving special education services.  These centers offer training, information, and assistance, free of charge.  Because they are operated by school divisions, Virginia Parent Resource Centers vary in the types of services they offer.  Typically they provide:

Direct assistance to parents/guardians:  listening, problem-solving, providing resources; and
Information sessions for parents, school staff and community promoting parent/professional partnerships.
