SEPTA

SEPTA (Special Education Parent Teachers Association) is part of the National PTA. Our goal is to assist families I the community (K- 12) who receive support services from the school district. We provide information on a wide range of topics and have recently establishes a section for special education in the Cold Spring Harbor Library. Included are brochures, books, and videotapes covering issues such as diagnosis, psychological testing, counseling services, social skills groups, after school activities, summer camps, and many others.

We are always researching specific information and welcome any suggestions and/or materials from all families.

SEPTA holds 5 – 6 meetings per year, hosting interesting and informative speakers.

Dues are $20 per year per family. The money is used to bring in speakers and pay for materials/mailings. In addition, SEPTA presents awards to two graduating seniors. These seniors are singled out for having shown an extraordinary commitment to our programs and students by donating their time as tutors and as friends.
