Partners Resource Network is a non-profit agency that operates the Texas statewide network of Parent Training and Information (PTI) Centers. The PTI Projects are: PATH, PEN, and TEAM.
At Partners Resource Network, our primary concern is on protecting the well-being of members of our community and educating others on how they can be strong allies to people with disabilities through the COVID-19 outbreak.
Partners Resource Network and Region 10 are collaborating on a series of Facebook Lives to share quick at-home learning tips to support parents as they help their children with disabilities transition to remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.
During this time, TEA will not be receiving visitors and, as a result, will not be able to accept hand delivery of requests for special education mediation. In addition, while requests may still be filed by mail, disruptions in the delivery of agency mail may occur due to possible closures in the mail room and distribution center. TEA, instead, recommends that parties consider using other available filing methods.

The Texas Education Agency (TEA) is creating new supports to help families of students with disabilities. TEA needs feedback from families of students with disabilities to help with this project. This is especially true if you are a family new to the special education process.
