Partners Resource Network TEAM Project is one of three Texas Parent Training and Information Centers (PTIs) funded through the Department of Education. We provide free information, technical assistance and ARD support to parents of children with special needs.
 
Our mission is to empower and support Texas families and individuals impacted by disabilities or special health care needs
We're going virtual!

As you may be aware many state agencies and schools throughout the state have declared a health emergency due to the “2019-Novel Coronavirus” or “COVID-19”.

We know that news like this can be unsettling and our leadership decided that although we will cease in-person events, we are fully prepared to continue supporting families telephonically or by any other acceptable form of virtual communication that is being used by our Texas families.

We are committed to keeping your family safe! So grab your phone, tablet or laptop and join us for a morning of learning!
