Mission Statement
The mission of PEAK Parent Center is to provide training, information, and technical assistance to equip families of children ages birth through twenty-six, including all disability conditions, with strategies to advocate successfully for their children. As a result of PEAK's services to families and professionals, children and adults with disabilities will live rich, active lives, participating as full members of their schools and communities.
Description
PEAK Parent Center is Colorado's federally designated Parent Training and Information Center (PTI). PEAK assists families and others through services like its telephone hotline, workshops, conferences, website, and publications. As a PTI, PEAK offers parent-to-parent support, but it does not hold support group meetings. We work one-on-one with families, but also collaborate with state government and the education, rehabilitation, and medical communities to make system changes that improve outcomes for children.
