PARENTS ENCOURAGING PARENTS 
Sponsored by the Colorado Department of Education 
Parents Encouraging Parents (PEP)
Conferences are family-centered conferences designed to offer support, information, and education to parents and professionals. PEP promotes the partnerships that are essential in supporting and including children with disabilities and their
families in all aspects of the school and community. 
These conferences are available to persons residing in Colorado who have a child with a disability - ages birth to twenty-one. Administrators, principals, teachers, medical and other service providers interested in the Family-Professional Partnership
are also invited to participate in a PEP Conference. The purpose of this conference is to bring parents and professionals together, allowing them an opportunity to share ideas, discuss concerns, celebrate successes, and obtain information relating to parenting, educating, and supporting a child with a disability.
