Parent Resource Center

The Parent Resource Center (PRC) has been established as a part of York County School Division to help parents become effective partners in planning and implementing appropriate special education programs for their children. A parent of a child with a disability staffs the PRC along with an educator of special needs children. The PRC provides assistance to parents who need help finding information and resources needed for their children. Assistance is also available to parents in the areas of the special education process, current issues and support. Call your Parent Resource Center today to find out more. Assistance may be provided individually, in small groups or by providing workshops on various topics.
