The Special Education Volunteer Advocate Program

Over the last 30 years, PIC has trained over 600 Volunteer Advocates. PIC on Special Education’s Volunteer Advocate (VA) training program is a free 45-hour course for parents and others who want to gain the knowledge and skills to support parents of children with disabilities in the special education process.  This training is offered twice a year at various locations across the state. Professionals are welcome to attend the program for their own professional development for a nominal fee.
