Center for Parent Information and Resources (CPIR)

The Center for Parent Information and Resources (CPIR) serves as a central resource of information and products to the community of Parent Training Information (PTI) Centers and the Community Parent Resource Centers (CPRCs) so that they can focus their efforts on serving families of children with disabilities.

Every State has at least one Parent Training and Information Center (PTI) to offer families just this kind of information. Many States also have a Community Parent Resource Center (CPRC), which offers the same type of support and training to parents of children with disabilities.

The CPIR online resource library contains webinars, articles, stand-alone pages, and publications on a wide range of topics, including IEPs, mental health, laws as they relate to children with disabilities, early learning and literacy, accommodations and assistive technologies, parenting, behavior and discipline, and much more.

Resources can be filtered by audience, format and source, and many resources are available in multiple languages.
