Empowering families to advocate for themselves so that children with special educational needs can reach their full potential in education and life - through support, training, and education. 
MPACT is here to help!   

Did you know that MPACT provides FREE services including one to one parent support (over the phone and in person), support at IEP meetings, and workshops about the special education process.  And this all happens throughout the ENTIRE state of Missouri.   We also provide transition events throughout the state that support students who are in or near the transition age process.
