Parents Encouraging Parents (PEP)
"Parents Encouraging Parents (PEP) is a unique, parent-run statewide conference sponsored and funded by the Nebraska Department of Education, Special Population Office, and is for Nebraska parents who are raising a child with a verified disability. The child with the disability must have either an active IFSP or IEP. Ten spaces for education professional who serve children with disabilities in Nebraska's schools are available.
One goal of the conference is to provide information about parenting and educating children with disabilities while encouraging parents to share their feelings and experiences. Another objective is to model how parents work in partnership with the professionals who are educating and supporting their children. PEP is designed to help parents realize their full potential in their partnership with the school system.
Total registration for the PEP Conference is limited to approximately 100 participants on a first-come, first-serve basis."
