Connect with an advocate!
Are you a Minnesota parent seeking support for your child with a disability? PACER has parent advocates available to help with questions including topics such as navigating the special education process, transition beyond high school, special health care needs, and more.
We are currently experiencing a high volume of calls. To help us respond as quickly as possible, please email [email protected] and include the following information:
- Age and disability of child
- 2-3 sentences summarizing a major question or concern
- Any upcoming deadlines (e.g., IEP meeting, paperwork that needs to be signed, etc.)
We will respond to your message as soon as we can. Thank you for contacting PACER!
Register for PACER's three-part 2024 Housing Series!
Join us for virtual sessions on April 1, 15, and 29 to learn about how you can prepare for your young adult with a disability to move to a place of their own.
Schedule PACER’s Count Me In puppet show
Help bring the message of disability awareness and social inclusion to young children! This age-appropriate show features child-sized puppets that capture children's attention and imagination. The show educates, entertains, and inspires young children to be kinder, more accepting, and inclusive to all kids, especially children with disabilities.
