Our Purpose

Purpose

SEPTA is a district-wide Parent Teacher Association for the specific purpose of providing information and support to parents and caregivers of children with special needs, including those with 504 plans, IEP’s, or having general learning challenges. We want to create a sense of community for all families of children needing extra support, regardless of grade level.

Whether virtual or in-person , we will continue to serve our families.

Please let us know how we can help you!

Lakeland SEPTA is here to:

1. To promote communication.

2. To provide direct input to the BOE, district and school administrations on the policies and programs that impact services and supports for children with special needs and their families.

3. To promote the inclusion of children with special needs, when appropriate and advocate for the necessary support within their schools and the community.

4. To strive to achieve mutual respect, understanding, support, safety and appropriate education for children with special needs while addressing possible overlapping concerns of special education and general education families.

5. To facilitate a network of support between parents/guardians of children with special needs and professionals to address emotional, social and educational concerns through liaisons and workshops.
