SEPTA

SEPTA stands for Special Education Parent Teacher Association. National PTA first introduced the concept in 1996 to address the unique needs of parents of children with special needs.

The National PTA believes that all children have the right to a quality public education which allows each child the opportunity to reach his or her fullest potential. SEPTA is designed to help parents advocate for special needs.

The Bellmore Merrick Central High School District Community Parent Center offers parenting education, support and resources for parents with children with special needs, grades K-12. The center is based at Brookside School, Rm 31, 1260 Meadowbrook Road, North Merrick, New York. For further information please call 771-9346.
