Parents Offering Parents Information and Networking (POPIN) is funded by the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP). It provides parent training and information (PTI) services to the Florida Panhandle from Escambia to Volusia County (Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, Walton, Calhoun, Gulf, Bay, Washington, Jackson, Liberty, Holmes, Franklin, Wakulla, Gadsden, Leon, Jefferson, Taylor, Madison, Hamilton, Dixie, Suwannee, Lafayette, Gilchrist, Columbia, Baker, Levy, Alachua, Union, Bradford, Nassau, Duval, St. John’s, Clay, Putnam, Flagler, Marion, and Volusia). These PTI services help to ensure that parents of children with the full range of disabilities have the training and information they need to prepare their children for school, and be able to lead productive, independent lives to the fullest extent possible.
Families are very important people in the lives of all children. This is especially true for family members of a child with a disability or special needs. We are here to help you with your educational planning and decision-making questions.
We are here to answer your questions and provide you with the information necessary to help you advocate for your child. Call us at (727) 523-1130/Toll Free (800) 825-5736.
The Parents Offering Parents Information and Networking offers free help and information to families of students with disabilities and the professionals that serve them. Our main focus is on the educational needs of students with disabilities.
We believe informed parents are a child’s best advocate and that parents and professionals working together provide the best resources for our children.
