The Community Advisory Committee (CAC) is a highly esteemed advisory body that offers guidance and support to the Special Education Local Plan Area (SELPA). To promote success for students with disabilities, the CAC invites families, educators, care providers, and other interested community members to join their ranks. As a member of the CAC, you will have the opportunity to contribute to the development, planning, and implementation of activities that are critical to the success of students with disabilities.

                             

                                    

 

The CAC has an important role to fulfill and it takes active participants to make a difference

We host regular workshops on important special education topics to inform and empower families and our community.

Throughout the school year, we provide opportunities for parents, students, educators, and community members to share

their input on special education programs and services. We also support activities that benefit individuals with special needs

and their families, collaborate with community partners, share valuable information and resources, and provide input on and

approve the SELPA Local Plan.

Meet our partner, Rowell Family Empowerment
 

Rowell Family Empowerment of Northern California, Inc. (RFENC) is a parent-founded and parent-run organization specifically funded (mostly by state grants & contracts) to provide direct services to families with children with disabilities ages birth – 22 within our 6 county catchment area. A child may have a diagnosis, may be at risk, or the parents may be concerned and would like to seek an evaluation. Whatever the reason, we provide guidance to families who may not be familiar with the unique education system, or related services. We do this through providing support, training, and parent consultation services such as:

  • Special Education Workshops
  • In-person and phone consultation about your child's special education rights and your participation as a team member in the IEP meetings
  • Review evaluations, assessments, and Individual Education Plan (IEP) documents with you so you can better understand these important documents which lead to informed decisions.
