Summary
The Native American Parent Technical Assistance Center (NAPTAC) produced a rich collection of materials for Parent Centers to use in planning and conducting outreach to the Native American families of children with disabilities in their service regions. To its honor, CPIR has been charged with converting and integrating into the Hub the NAPTAC library of Native American resources for Parent Centers. Half of the enormous collection was unveiled in this webinar, and we took a tour of some of the resources within, all intended for use by Parent Centers in learning about Native culture and in planning and conducting outreach to American Indian and Alaska Native communities and families whose children have disabilities.

While the closed captioning doesn’t always spell the names of the tribes correctly, we are pleased to share here the tribes mentioned and provide links to more information about those tribes.
