Parents with Purpose (PWP)
Have you ever had questions about your child’s education but were afraid to ask? Are you worried about your child’s future and how you can support them? Do you want to know more about the opportunities and supports for your child within our community? “Parents with Purpose” is a workgroup for parents of school-age students with disabilities. Directed by The Arc of Indiana County, The Local Task Force, & ARIN IU 28, the workgroup’s purpose is to provide parents with support, education, and advocacy.
