Family Engagement in Special Education is a partnership between The Arc Tennessee and the Tennessee Department of Education as part of the Tennessee Technical Assistance Network (TN-TAN).
Support for Families. Training for Schools. Success for Students with Disabilities.
Our program connects families and schools so students with disabilities can get the best support. We empower families with free, easy-to-understand resources and clear guidance. Additionally, we offer schools professional development and planning to help them work better with families.
