Citizens Alliance To Uphold Special Education (CAUSE) is a project working to serve parents as we did when we were Michigan's Parent Training Information Center. We still offer all the same services and will continue to do so in the future. CAUSE is a statewide non-profit coalition providing free information, referral, support, advocacy, and workshops to parents and professionals working with children with disabilities and special needs.
MISSION STATEMENT
CAUSE shall provide a collaborative forum where consumers and providers can actively support an individualized Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) that enables all students to maximize their options in the world community. Our priority is to protect and advocate for the educational rights of students with disabilities. Thank you to all who have continued to support and believe in what our organization stands for, we are still working hard for Michigan families. |
