Up until now, parents of special education students in Mercer County Pennsylvania have had little communication amongst themselves. Now, thanks to the multitude of listservs and online groups, the Internet is bringing these folks together.

The groups goals are to help parents realize their exceptional children's needs. Additionally to help those parents and families navigate the sometimes very complex system of special education.

Special education is not what it used to be. It is not a classroom, but an individualized approach to teaching students with different academic and behavioral needs. This group hopes to serve this ever growing population of exeptional children.
