WHAT IS BSPN?
BSPN includes parents, special-education teachers, school therapists, and administrators within Batavia Public School District 101, which serves children from Batavia, Geneva and Aurora. Our group welcomes anyone interested in improving and supporting special education.
Our primary goal is to create a support network for parents of special-education students. Any parent can benefit from the exchange of ideas and information with other parents and school personnel. Parents of special-needs children also have to manage Individualized Education Plans, 504 Plans, therapies, and medical procedures that complicate the already difficult job of parenting. As parents of children with special needs ourselves, and as personnel who work with and care about special needs children in school, we can help by sharing information and providing mentoring to parents who need it. We regularly host informal coffee chats to allow parents to meet and share experiences and information.
As opportunities arise, we plan to host educational events to provide information about topics of interest to the special-needs community. We also host an annual Parent Resource Fair to provide an opportunity for families to learn more about the resources in the community.
For parents in need of guidance, mentoring and support, our members are happy to lend a hand or just listen. To request information or support, please contact us.
