Parent to Parent of Pennsylvania

Parent to Parent of Pennsylvania Our regional offices are located throughout the state of Pennsylvania. Requests for matches can be made via phone, email, or our website.

Parent to Parent of PA matches parents, grandparents, guardians, and family members of children and adults with a disability or special need to a volunteer Peer Supporter. Established in 1996, Parent to Parent of PA is a statewide agency that links families of children with disabilities or special needs for the purposes of support and information. Based on your individual needs, we will link you to a volunteer peer supporter. They are the lifeline of the program. They have experienced the joys and challenges of living with individuals with a disability or special need. Currently, we have 1,365 ready to share their stories. The Tuscarora Intermediate Unit reserves the right to remove comments or posts to its social media sites, and will notify the individual responsible for the posting, when such comments or posts are viewed as abusive, inappropriate, offensive, or of a harassing or threatening nature, including, but not limited to, comments or posts that are or contain:

1. Commercial solicitations.

2. Factually inaccurate, erroneous, or libelous information.

3. Any vulgarity or obscenity or abusive or sexually explicit language.

4. Any pornographic, obscene, or sexually explicit material or other visual depictions.

5. Any links to unknown, unapproved, offensive or inappropriate websites or web pages.

6. Personal attacks of any kind, including posts that easily identify students, staff or others in defamatory or abusive terms.

7. Political support or opposition to any candidate, political measure, or ballot question.

8. Offensive comments that target or disparage any group or person.

9. Violations of Intermediate Unit policy.

10. SPAM, that is, repeatedly posting the same comment or comments that simply advertise or promote a service or product. 11. Discussions not related to the Intermediate Unit or its programs.

The Pennsylvania State Advisory Council (SAC) is now accepting applications for family and professional leaders interested in serving on one of the Council's five supporting subcommittees.
As outlined in the Governor's Executive Order, the SAC advises the Office of Child Development and Early Learning (OCDEL) on planning for the expansion and coordination of effective early learning and development services for young children and their families across the Commonwealth.

The five SAC subcommittees are:

1. Access to Programs

2. Child Care Certification and Quality Rating

3. Diversity, Inclusion, Equity and Belonging

4. Physical, Behavioral and Mental Health

5. Professional Development

Participation on an SAC subcommittee is an opportunity to help shape discussions, provide feedback, and support initiatives that impact Pennsylvania's early childhood education system, children, and families. The subcommittees serve as focused workgroups that provide specialized expertise, develop recommendations, and support the implementation of initiatives aligned with the Council's broader goals and priorities.

Family members, early childhood professionals, advocates, community partners, and system leaders are encouraged to apply.
