Center for Parent Information & Resources

The Center for Parent Information and Resources, a function of the U.S. Department of Education, is a central hub of information and products created for the network of parent centers serving families of children with disabilities. The CPIR Resource Library contains articles, fact sheets, training materials, webinars and videos on key disability and education topics.

The nearly 100 Parent Training and Information Centers and Community Parent Resource Centers in the United States and territories:

• Work with families of infants, toddlers, children and youth with disabilities, birth to age 26
• Help parents participate effectively in their children’s education and development
• Partner with professionals and policymakers to improve outcomes for all children with disabilities

The Center for Parent Information & Resources’ Early Intervention Services page summarizes the early intervention system. Early intervention services can help children up to age 3 catch up in their development.

Visit the Resources For Early Intervention Services page to learn more about early intervention, eligibility, developmental delays, and the evaluation and assessment process. Also find links to state resources.

The CPIR Find Your Parent Center website provides contact information for parent centers by state and territory.
