Family Matters
Family Matters, a project of ARC Community Support
Systems, was funded as a Family Support Program, in 1989, by the Illinois
Department of Human Services in order to assist families to keep their
children with disabilities living at home by providing, locating, or
creating the needed supports. The most prevalent need expressed by parents
in 1989 and through the present, is for information about obtaining more,
better, different, or more appropriate special education services. The
Family Support program offers support, advocacy, information and education
to parents in a 26 county region of south central Illinois.
In October, 2002, Family Matters was awarded a grant from the US Department
of Education to become a Parent Training and Information Center to serve the
entire state of Illinois outside of the Chicago area. As a Parent Training
and Information Center (PTIC), Family Matters provides information,
referral, linkages, and training to parents, students with disabilities, and
special education professionals. Through a toll-free help line individuals
can get assistance with special education problems or concerns, obtain
information, and request training opportunities. Regional coordinators in
the North, South, East, West, and Central areas of the state offer free
workshops on special education rights and responsibilities and related
topics.
The mission of both the Family Matters Family Support Program and the Parent
Training and Information Center is to build upon families' strengths,
empower parents and professionals to achieve the strongest possible outcomes
for students with disabilities, and to enhance the quality of life for
children and young adults with disabilities..
The Family Matters PTIC can assist you to learn about early intervention
services for children from birth to three years of age, can inform you about
special education services for school aged children, can help with
transition issues for students who will be leaving the educational system
and are preparing for the world of work, adult services or college, and can
provide information about resources, best practices, specific disabilities,
parent to parent connections, and training opportunities and conferences.
We hope that you will visit our site often, email your comments, questions
and concerns, and call and speak to our information specialists for
assistance..
