NY Region 1 Collaborative is a Parent Training and Information Center (PTIC) funded by the US Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs.

The Long Island Advocacy Center, along with Advocates for Children, IncludeNYC, and Sinergia, provides training and information to families of children with disabilities and the professionals who work with them throughout Long Island and New York City.

Decades of research supports the powerful influence that parent and family involvement has on children’s achievement in school. For families of children with disabilities, navigating the Special Education process, and advocating for their child’s social, emotional, and educational needs, can be overwhelming- especially when you’re doing it alone.

You don’t have to do it alone- we’re here to support you.
