Family Network on Disabilities, Inc. is proud to announce SHARING THE COMMITMENT POLK COUNTY.      

Sharing the Commitment is a collaborative project that has been created to foster effective partnerships between parents, schools, and the community. Along with the Polk County Exceptional Student Education Department, Family Network on Disabilities (FND) provides information, training and support to educators, parents, and agencies on services and programs for students with disabilities. Sharing the Commitment sponsors workshops for all persons interested in services for students with disabilities. Specially trained parents and teachers called Parent Educator Exceptional Resources (PEERs) will be available to provide parents of students with disabilities with up-to-date information, resources and support.
