Arlington Parent Resource Center (PRC)
The PRC is a resource and information center for families, staff and community members. The PRC’s mission is to provide parents the support and information they need as they work with the school system to identify and meet their child’s unique learning needs.
The PRC offers support and assistance, individual consultations with families at the PRC or by phone, a lending library, a parent newsletter, parent learning opportunities, and serves as an information and referral source for families and staff members.
APS Special Education Parent Liaisons
The PRC and SEPTA work together to provide a liaison to each school in Arlington Public Schools. Liaisons support and encourage the flow of information between each of the schools, the PRC, SEPTA and the community. Additionally, Liaisons serve as points of contact for families interested in connecting with another parent of a child with special needs in individual schools. View the current list of liaisons here.
Arlington Inclusion Task Force
The Arlington Inclusion Task Force is an informal, unincorporated association comprising over 300 parents, students, APS staff, and community allies, including many without any personal connection to disability.
Know where to go in times of crisis and when you or someone you know is in need of ongoing support.
Arlington Therapeutic Recreation
Parks and Recreation’s Therapeutic Recreation division provides specialized services for individuals with disabilities including social clubs, family-centered programming, camps, adapted classes and leisure education.
In addition, Therapeutic Recreation provides modifications upon request for individuals with disabilities who are participating in Parks and Recreation’s general recreation programs.
ASEAC – Arlington Special Education Advisory Committee
The Arlington Special Education Advisory Committee (ASEAC) space provides an opportunity for parents to have a voice in the way APS provides services to students with disabilities, from preschool to age 21.
ASEAC’s role and duties are mandated by the Regulations Governing Special Education Programs for Children with Disabilities in Virginia as defined by the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE). As described by the VDOE, Special Education Advisory Committees (SEACs) “are extensions of local school boards since members are appointed by them, and SEACs provide reports and recommendations to their school boards.” ASEAC provides an annual report to the School Board, but also submits comments and recommendations throughout the year as needed.
