The New Parent Training and Information Center (PTI) in Georgia

Parent Training and Information Centers (PTIs) are a funded program by the US Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) as authorized in Part D of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Parent Training Information Centers (PTIs) ensure that children with disabilities and their parents receive training and information on their rights, responsibilities, and protections under IDEA in order to develop the skills necessary to cooperatively and effectively participate in planning and decision making related to early intervention, educational and transitional services.

Navigation to Connections for Improved Student Outcomes (N2C) is the new PTI for Georgia. N2C is a program of Parent to Parent of Georgia.

N2C staff at Parent to Parent of Georgia assists families of children with disabilities (0-26) with education issues by providing a variety of supports, activities, resources and trainings. Levels of assistance vary based on individual needs.

For more information about N2C, call 1-800-229-2038 or 770-451-5484
