Urban Partnership Resources and Information on Disability and Education (Urban PRIDE) provides direct support to help families who have children ages birth—22 years of age to access early intervention, early childhood, special education, and transition planning services.

We conduct training and leadership activities for families and transition-aged youth (youth ages 14—22) to help them understand their rights under the special education laws, to navigate the special education process, to resolve disagreements with their child’s school, and to prepare for and participate in IFSP, IEP, and Transition Planning meetings.

Urban PRIDE staff also attend IEP and Transition Planning meetings, and help families to understand and pursue their due process rights through mediation, resolution sessions, and due process hearings.
