The Center for Parent Information & Resources (CPIR) is the central hub of valuable information and products specifically designed for the network of Parent Centers serving families of children with disabilities.

In September 2024, several Region B states and Parent Centers (Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia) experienced catastrophic damage from Hurricane Helene. Resources provided here include state and local organizations to which donations may be made to support recovery efforts. Check back often for updates!

Thanks to Region B (RPTAC Region B) for pulling together this list of resources.
