  • Benefits of the council:
    • A place to learn and network with other parents.
  • Meetings information:
    • Quarterly meetings are provided online. 2023-2024 School Year Meeting Schedule coming soon. 
• Resources:
  • Parent Information Center of Delaware - PIC: A great place for Delaware families to begin navigating all the resources available to children with disabilities in Delaware, including non-education-related resources. This website is especially helpful for families who have not yet entered the Delaware school system.
  • Delaware Department of Special Education
  • Transition after high school  -  Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) services
  • DDHS, Division for the Visually Impaired - Vision Impaired: The Mission of DVI is to provide educational, vocational, and technical support to empower and foster independence for Delawareans with visual impairments.
  • Delaware disability hub: Transitioning for teens and young adults with special educational or healthcare needs requires planning in several areas to make life easier. The Delaware Disability Hub (DelDHub) website was created to assist students in the transition years, their parents or caregivers, and professionals by providing resources, connections, guidance, and information from around the country. Although the DelDHub covers the teen years forward, parents or caregivers need to start thinking about the transition years at a much earlier age to ensure a child reaches their full potential.
  • Prevention and Behavioral Health Services: The Division of Prevention and Behavioral Health Services, also known as DPBHS, provides an array of prevention, early intervention, and behavioral health treatment services statewide.
  • NAMI Delaware: Join us as we support, educate, and advocate for people with severe and persistent mental illness in Delaware. You can help us change how our community addresses mental illness
  • Family SHADE: A community dedicated to supporting families of children with disabilities and chronic medical conditions.
  • Take Care Delaware: If a law enforcement officer encounters a child during a call, that child’s information is forwarded to the school before the school bell rings the next day. The school implements individual, class and whole school trauma-sensitive curricula so that traumatized children are “Handled With Care". If a child needs more intervention, on-site trauma-focused mental healthcare is available at the school.
