P2P? PEAK? PEP? When we are out and about in various communities talking with parents and professionals we often hear people confusing these three 'P' acronyms. Here is what we often say…

P2P is Parent to Parent of Colorado (a service of CP of Colorado): P2P connects families with other families (through our matching service and our listserv. (See below for more!) P2P serves families with sons and daughters birth through life.

PEAK Parent Center (a non-profit located in Colorado Springs): PEAK is the federally designated Parent Training and Information Center for Colorado under the Individuals with Disability Education Act (IDEA). PEAK offers workshops on 'Understanding IEPs' and other topics and holds an annual conference called the 'Conference on Inclusive Education. PEAK also offers parent advisors who talk with families about school related issues such as IEPs and 504 plans. PEAK serves families with children birth through age 26.

PEP (Parents Encouraging Parents) is a conference that is offered for families twice each year and is sponsored by the Colorado Department of Education. This conference is over three days and two nights, is free to families (lodging, meals and educational component). PEP serves families with children birth through age 21.

These organizations aren't related but work together to support families in Colorado raising children with disabilities.
