Canton Parent Advisory Council
for Student Services
We are the only volunteer group representing ALL Canton
special needs students associated with the Canton
public schools.
As special
needs parents ourselves, we understand
and act as an advisory group to the Canton
school system and each other. Our goals are
to help promote communication and programs
within the Canton community to encourage greater
understanding, tolerance, acceptance, compassion
and inclusion of special needs children.

Parents are
invited to attend a workshop on Basic Rights
in Special Education on Monday, April 12 at 7 PM
in Rm 138 at Canton High School. This
workshop is designed to help parents learn
how to be effective partners with their child’s
school to decide the child’s eligibility for
special education, and to plan, make decisions
and monitor their child’s progress in school.
It provides families with an introduction to
their rights and responsibilities under the
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act
(IDEA), Massachusetts Special Education Law and
No Child Left Behind (NCLB). It is being
presented by The Federation for Children with
Special Needs.
