Who We Are

The Framingham Special Education Parent Advisory Council (SEPAC) is an all-volunteer organization of parents and caregivers of children receiving special education services in the Framingham Public Schools and 766 approved private school settings.  In the Framingham school system, there are more than 2000 children with Individualized Education programs (IEPs). 

Whether your child is already receiving support or you are trying to determine if your child needs services, we are here to provide a parent’s perspective and connections.

Our Mission

The mission of the Framingham  SEPAC is to work for the understanding of, respect for, and support of all children with disabilities in our community. 

To that end, the Framingham SEPAC will work to:

• Support and encourage an innovative educational environment where students with disabilities have equal access to educational opportunities and a community environment where all students are encouraged to reach their full potential.
• Promote a network for parents of students with disabilities and provide a forum to share information and discuss matters of relative interest and concern.
• Support communication and programs within the community to encourage understanding, respect, acceptance, and inclusion of students with disabilities.
• Collaborate with the school community to continually improve the educational opportunities available throughout the Framingham  Public Schools that cultivate improved educational outcomes for students with disabilities.
