Mission:     K-12

To educate and support parents, teachers and our community about the needs of our special children, so that each child is able to reach their fullest potential. SEPTA will bridge the gap between regular and special education through knowledge, in order to promote acceptance of people with special needs.

Purpose:

To provide a forum by having regular information meetings with guest speakers and workshops focused on the many pressing issues facing our members. To provide a place for parents and teachers to exchange information on various programs, the latest insights and strategies, funding, and ever-changing state and federal laws. To create an environment where we are able to support each other on the many problems of adjustment, growth and development our children face.

Membership:

Is not restricted to our special education community. It is open to any interested parent, family member, teacher, student, administrator or person who cares about Special Education issues and advocacy.

"It's all up to me and you, there's much work we have to do. We are all busy and have full days, but you can help in a variety of ways. Lend a hand for a little while to make life better for each special child. Become a member and you will see, working together how effective we can be"

With SEPTA every child has a voice, and that voice will be heard, without prejudice and regardless of disability.  All children have the absolute right to reach their fullest potential.  It's time to think outside the box!

Riverhead SEPTA is a charter of NYS PTA and is a tax exempt 501 (c) (3) organization.  Every child, one voice.
