The community is invited to learn about resources available for families of students from early childhood through age 22.

In keeping with its mission of providing opportunities that enrich the educational experience and quality of life for students and families, BSPN has partnered with over 40 community organizations this year. The Resource Fair will showcase recreational opportunities, therapy providers, consultants, transition planning, and advocacy/support specialists.

About Batavia Special-Education Parent Network (BSPN): BSPN includes parents, special education teachers, school therapists, and administrators within Batavia Public School District 101, which serves children from Batavia, Geneva, and Aurora. Our group welcomes anyone interested in improving and supporting special education.

Our primary goal is to create a support network for parents of special-education students.  Any parent can benefit from exchanging ideas and information with other parents and school personnel.  Parents of special-needs children also have to manage Individualized Education Plans, 504 Plans, therapies, and medical procedures that complicate the already difficult job of parenting.  As parents of children with special needs ourselves and as personnel who work with and care about special needs children in school, we can help by sharing information and providing mentoring to parents who need it.
