Parent Counseling and Training Workshops
The purpose of Parent Counseling and Training (PCT), as a related service, is to offer parents information on child development, to enhance knowlEdge and understanding of their child's special needs, and to assist in acquiring skills to support the implementation of their child's Individualized Education Program (IEP). PCT is prescribed as part of the student's IEP. PCT is offered every school year and is delivered in English and Spanish.
For more information about PCT workshops including the schedule, please view the Fall 2024 Schedule (English and Spanish) or contact your child's IEP team.
To request interpretation services in another language, or if you have questions, please call the PCT hotline at (213) 674-1576 and leave a clear and detailed message and your call will be returned. You may also send an email to [email protected].
