Partners Resource Network

Partners Resource Network (PRN) is a non-profit agency that operates the Texas statewide network of Parent Training and Information (PTI) Centers serving parents of children and youth with disabilities ages 0-26 as well as youth self-advocates ages 14-26. The majority of their staff are parents of children with disabilities themselves who understand what families are experiencing and are ready to help. They offer free services, including webinars, in-person workshops, and individual support, to empower and support Texas families and individuals impacted by disabilities or special health care needs. Their services are provided at no cost to parents of infants, toddlers, children, and youth with all types of disabilities. They can help parents and youth self-advocates to understand their child's disability, find program and service options, participate as team members with professionals during IEP preparation, understand state and federal laws, communicate more effectively with professionals, gain needed advocacy skills, and build a support network. Partners Resource Network is located in Lubbock, Texas, and their regular office hours are Monday – Friday from 8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. They can be reached at 1.800.866.4726 or info@prntexas.org.
