The mission of MEC is to empower, encourage and educate all Montana families with children and young adults with disabilities. We want to ensure that families receive training and information on their rights, responsibilities, and protections under IDEA so they can actively participate in planning and decision-making that affects their children. Individuals, families, and educators are more confident and successful when they have access to current information from evidence-based practices which empowers them to implement such practices into action. We are available to help with your questions about special education, school services and resources. MEC helps families work with early intervention, education and transition systems and services. We assist and empower parents and guardians to take an active role in their child’s education. We can assist by providing you with information and referrals to other programs that can meet your child’s and family’s unique needs. We can also help you brainstorm options and solutions. PTI’s are federally funded programs through the United States Department of Education Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) authorized in Part D of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). PTI’s serve families of children with disabilities who are aged birth through 26 at no cost. We serve families of children with a full range of disabilities.
