INFORMATION FOR PARENTS & PROFESSIONALS |
A Message from our
Members:
If you haven’t
heard about or joined the Auburn SEPAC, you’re
missing out on an excellent source for support,
friendship, fun and enrichment for your whole family.
Our organization has become a well-respected, strong
role model for non-profit, parent-driven groups in
Auburn as well as in Central Massachusetts. Because
of the efforts of the current members of SEPAC
(parents like you), SEPAC has heightened
awareness of our special needs children in the
community and provided support to other
organizations like Auburn Schools Technology
Initiative, Project Lifesaver and Friends of Auburn
Music Education. We host public forums to meet
local candidates during election time, and provided
needed materials to special education classrooms &
teachers. It is our primary mission to make sure
that you and your family have what you need to make
your special needs child successful in our school
system and community.
