The Center for Parent Information and Resources (CPIR) is your central “Hub” of information and products created for the network of Parent Centers serving families of children with disabilities.

All the materials found on the CPIR Hub have been created and archived for Parent Centers around the country to help them provide support and services to the families they serve. The CPIR employs a user-centered process, gathering the perspectives of our experienced audience—Parent Center staff members and other experts—every step of the way, to create products and services that increase Parent Centers’ knowledge and capacity in specific domains.

The Mission of the National Center on Intensive Intervention (NCII) is to build the capacity of state and local education agencies, universities, practitioners, and other stakeholders to support implementation of intensive intervention in literacy, mathematics, and behavior for students with severe and persistent learning and/or behavioral needs, often in the context of their multi-tiered system of support (MTSS) or special education services. NCII’s approach to intensive intervention is data-based individualization (DBI), a research-based process that integrates the systematic use of assessment data, validated interventions, and intensification strategies.

There are nearly 100 Parent Training and Information Centers (PTIs)and Community Parent Resource Centers (CPRCs)in the US and Territories who are working with families of infants, toddlers, children, and youth with disabilities, birth to 26 and are helping parents participate effectively in their children’s education and development. They partner with professionals and policy makers to improve outcomes for all children with disabilities.  This resource will link you to the "Find Your Parent Center" database which is hosted by the Center for Parent Information & Resources.
