Our Story
|
Avon SEPTA is a non-profit organization open to anyone who has an interest in the welfare of children with special needs, including parents, families, teachers, paraprofessionals, administrators, students and friends.
Avon SEPTA helps support, strengthen and enrich the lives of children with special needs. The group began as a small parent group in 2003 and became a Connecticut P.T.A. in 2004. Meetings are scheduled throughout the year with guest speakers on topics that are of interest to our membership. We also host social gatherings so members can connect and support each other. |
