Each year parents with children with disabilities and special healthcare needs gather from around the state in San Marcos for the annual Texas Parent to Parent Conference. Our unique conference offers child care for children with disabilities and their siblings and a Peer-to-Peer Summit for young adults with disabilities to learn self-advocacy, so that the parents can attend sessions to help them become better advocates and caregivers for the children.
We need College Students, HS Honor students, Boy & Girl Scouts, and community group members to come and play the day away with these children and young adults.
We especially need help in the Peer Summit (teens and young adult self advocacy mini-conference), and on Saturday morning with carnival games!

Mission Statement
Texas Parent to Parent (TxP2P) supports children with disabilities, chronic illness, and other special health care needs by empowering their families to be advocates for them through peer support, resource referral, and public awareness.
Description
Texas Parent to Parent (TxP2P) provides support and information to families through staff who are also parents of children with disabilities or chronic illness and/or through one-on-one matches with trained Supporting Parent Volunteers. We provide information on resources and programs, funding sources and insurance and anything that will help support a family remaining intact with their child at home with them.
TxP2P provides trainings for professionals and parents across the state through our federally funded Family to Family Health Care Education and Information Center. We provide a Medical Education Program for Pediatric and Family Practice Residents using Family Faculty to help them understand the global impact of a child with a disability on a family. We are working on Respite and Transition Programs.
TxP2P also provides an annual parent conference and a quarterly newsletter.
