Welcome to the
York
County Parent Resource Center
The
Parent Resource Center's Mission
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.
