The Brookline Special Education Parent Advisory Council (SEPAC) is an all-volunteer organization of parents of children with disabilities in the preschool, elementary school, high school, and in private schools who meet to learn more about special education in Brookline. We sponsor workshops, informational meetings, discussion groups, legislative lobbying efforts and a variety of other activities to help improve our children’s education.

Who belongs to the Brookline SEPAC? Parents just like you. Even though your child is like no other, there are hundreds of parents in Brookline who are going through the Brookline special education process in much the same way that you might be going through it. We are always learning from each other.

What we do

Support: Build a community of parents of children with disabilities to share information and provide support.

Information: Provide information about disabilities, parenting and teaching strategies for children with disabilities, and the laws and regulations governing special education.

Advocacy: Work with legislators, the School Committee, and school administrators to improve educational opportunities, programs and services for children with disabilities.
