Welcome

Welcome to the web site of the Mashpee Special Education Parents’ Advisory Council (SEPAC). We’re a group of concerned parents in Mashpee, Massachusetts, who have children with special needs.

It’s our goal to provide parents in Mashpee with a place to get more information about special education -- we hope to be a resource for parents of children with special needs, providing advocacy, support and networking resources.

The Mashpee SEPAC is looking for input and participation from parents who want to be involved. Please get in touch with us if you’d like to be a part of our effort.

This group is open to all Mashpee parents or guardians, not just those with children already in the Mashpee Public Schools’ Special Education program.

Mission Statement

To continually offer resources and guidance to parents by being an integral part of the community, having each family feel directly connected and empowered to support one another while they prepare their special education child for their own life's journey.
