PEAK's Annual Conference on Inclusive Education
Inclusive education is a process of school reform that creates equity in education and increases achievement for ALL students. In inclusive schools, students, families, general and special educators, administrators, support staff, and community members work together to make curriculum accessible to all learners and to differentiate instruction. This conference brings members of each of these distinct groups together to learn and collaborate, and focuses on strategies that support the inclusion of students with all types of disabilities in general education.
PEAK Parent Center's annual Conference on Inclusive Education holds the tools you need to reinvent schools to be places where all students can achieve success!

Parents Encouraging Parents (PEP) Conference
The Exceptional Student Services Unit at CDE plans conferences throughout the year that are family-centered and designed to offer support, information, and education to parents and professionals who are Colorado residents.
Parents Encouraging Parents are conferences, abbreviated as PEP, for families and parents who have children with disabilities, ages birth to 21.
Parents include parents as couples, single parents, legal guardians, adoptive, and foster parents.
A support person may attend and accompany a single parent. A support person is one who is helping a parent to raise a child(ren) with a disability or who is a caretaker of the child(ren) with a disability in the family (can include grandparent(s) or other relatives).
PEP conferences are arranged in a conference setting, and parents have the opportunity to obtain information relating to parents, parenting, educating, and supporting a child with a disability.
Professionals are also invited to attend to obtain information relating to educating and supporting a child with a disability and their family. Professionals must work with children and youth with disabilities (ages birth to 21) and their families.
PEP is a non-specific disability conference that focuses on commonalities, not diagnoses.
