What is a PTI?

Every state has at least one Parent Training and Information Center (PTI) funded by the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) at the U.S. Department of Education, under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).

In Texas, there are four PTI projects: PACT, PATH, PEN, and TEAM.

Partners Resource Network (PRN) is a non‐profit agency that operates the Texas PTI projects as a statewide network that serves parents of children and youth with disabilities ages of 0‐26 as well as youth self ‐advocates ages 14‐26.
