resources.

- Conduct workshops on various subjects for families and
educators.
- Provide books, pamphlets and video/ audio tapes on issues
regarding special education, parenting, and disabilities.
- Network with other agencies and programs who work with
parents and educators.
- Connect families and educators with similar needs and
interests.

encourage them to support home-school relationships.
