Our mission is to ensure that all children
with special needs receive an education which allows them to achieve their
personal goals.
Parents of children with disabilities face challenges every day that
other parents don't have. It is often difficult to navigate the maze
of special services and create a plan that will help children achieve
successful outcomes through education. But how do we reach these
goals? How do we know what choices to make for and with our children?
We can help answer your questions.
MPACT is a statewide parent training and information center that serves
parents of children with all disabilities. Our primary goal is to
assist parents in their effort to effectively advocate for their children's
educational rights and services. MPACT staff and volunteers are
located throughout Missouri and work with public and private agencies,
parent groups, professional organizations and advocacy groups to achieve
that goal.
We provide up-to-date information online, as well as training sessions
that take place year-round throughout the state. We encourage you to
call our toll-free number (1.800.743.7634) and let our staff answer any
questions you may have. You may also request more information through
Missouri's education agency or your local school district.
