The Amherst-Pelham Special Education Parent Advisory Council (SEPAC) is a volunteer organization of parents of children with disabilities in the pre- and elementary schools, middle and high schools, and in private/ out-of-district placement schools. SEPAC strives to learn more about special education, and to effect change as our knowledge grows; our goal is to help improve our children’s education as technology, research, and tested pedagogical theories progress. We aim to provide support, information, and advocacy to parents of children with disabilities. This website lists many resources, meetings, agendas and minutes. Our blog http://arpssepac.wordpress.com provides further opportunities for parents to become involved with SEPAC, as we strongly encourage all parents of children receiving special education services in the district to join us in whatever capacity they are able.
The Amherst-Pelham SEPAC is made up of parents of children receiving Special Education services through the ARPS school system. We aim to provide support, information and advocacy to parents of children with disabilities.

We hold General SEPAC meetings, which are open to all participants, monthly during the school year. SEPAC Board Meetings are held roughly once a month, year-round are open to all observers, and time for non-board members to speak can be arranged with prior notice.

We strongly encourage all parents of children receiving Special Education Services in the district join us. For more information, contact us.
