What We Do at the Parent Network
Welcome to the Parent Network of the Capital Region (PNCR). The mission of the Parent Network of the Capital Region (PNCR) is to provide parents with the knowledge, skills, resources and support to effectively advocate for their children and to facilitate productive relationships between parents and school districts for the benefit of students with disabilities. We offer these services free-of-charge to parents, service providers, disability organizations and schools.
