Parent Training and Information (PTI) Projects

Partners Resource Network (PRN) is the non-profit agency awarded three PTI Projects which now cover the entire state of Texas. These projects operate independently but do share some central administrative functions. All of the projects share the common purpose of empowering parents of children and youth with disabilities in their roles as parents, decision makers, and advocates for their children. In addition, the PRN publishes the Parent Advocate Quarterly Newsletter.
