Two professors, George Giuliani (Hofstra University) and Roger Pierangelo (Long Island University), announced the formation of the National Association of Parents with Children in Special Education (NAPCSE), an organization aiming to help parents by “providing the latest special education news updates, laws, information, resources and a forum to help them become their children’s best advocate.” The organization’s target audience appears to be parents of children with virtually any disability. It is seeking members in various categories of membership and it has headquarters in Washington, DC (US).
The National Association of Parents with Children in Special Education (NAPCSE) is a national membership organization dedicated to rendering all possible support and assistance to parents whose children receive special education services, both in and outside of school. NAPCSE was founded for parents with children with special needs to promote a sense of community and provide a national forum for their ideas.
The Web site has dozens of pages, some of which mention the word “effective.” We’ll have to see to what extent the organization champions effectiveness in the long run.
