Built For NYC Families Navigating Special Education
NY Parent Network was created by parents who personally experienced the challenges, confusion, and overwhelm of navigating New York City’s special education system. We know how difficult it can be to find trustworthy information, understand your rights, or simply figure out the next step for your child.
That’s why we built a resource designed specifically for you clear, supportive, and parent-centered. Our mission is to empower families with the tools, guidance, and knowledge they need to advocate confidently, make informed decisions, and ensure every child receives the support they deserve.
