Hanover SEPAC Key Objectives

Work with the School Committee to establish procedures related to planning, development and evaluation of the special education program.

The Special Education Parent Advisory Council is a volunteer organization made up of families of students with special education services within the Hanover community. Provide regular forums for parents and school personnel to share information and discuss pertinent issues. Provide training for parents on Special Education laws and regulations as well as the development of educational plans. Explore opportunities for parents, teachers and other school personnel to participate in joint training to foster mutual understanding. Establish a support network among parents, including access to relevant information, regulations and laws, training and emotional support. Promote communication and programs within the community to encourage greater understanding, acceptance, compassion, and inclusion of children with learning differences.

What happens when your child’s mental health needs and their school supports don’t quite connect?

For neurodivergent students, emotional and mental health needs can have a significant impact on their ability to participate, learn, and feel successful at school—but families don’t always know what supports are available or how to advocate for them.

Join us for our **FREE October Parent Seminar: Bridging the Gap Between Mental Health & School-Based Supports**, presented by special education advocate **Genevieve Castleman Kasarjian of Castleman Advocacy**.

We’ll talk about the disconnect that can happen between mental health needs and school-based supports, what resources and accommodations may be available, and how families can better advocate for what their child needs.

💻 Online
📅 Tuesday, October 20
⏰ 7:30–9:00 PM

Here at the Hanover SEPAC, our spirits are UP for Down Syndrome Awareness Month! This month we're celebrating our friends, neighbors, and classmates with Down Syndrome. We are also inviting everyone in our community to Be the Change:
*Celebrate our differences
*Speak up if you see a friend being treated unkindly
*Befriend your classmates with Down Syndrome
And most of all, treat your neighbors and fellow community members with the respect and dignity they deserve.
An extra chromosome means extra love, extra special, and extra fun!

Congratulations to Melissa Reilly for her YEARS of hard work! On Monday, the Massachusetts Senate unanimously passed Bill S.137, an Act dignifying intellectuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities, to replace harmful language in 362 state statutes in the Mass General Laws (MGL). The R word has no place in our state!
