We have worked collaboratively with TNSTEP for more than 20 years. We are able to count on TNSTEP, through their Parent Center work, to provide regular, independent parent and youth training courses free of charge including transitional planning and family friendly supportive programming for issues such as understanding special education diplomas, and advocacy. We have found their services invaluable as their staff function as a neutral party when parents have specific questions or concerns dealing with Special Education procedures, resources, and programming.
