Parent Survey - Special Education

West Virginia Parent Training and Information (WVPTI) is asking for your input through the 2026–2027 Parent Survey – Special Education.

This survey is for parents and caregivers of children and youth receiving special education services in West Virginia. If you are the parent or caregiver of a child or youth receiving special education services, your voice matters. By sharing your experiences, you help us better understand the needs of families across different educational settings and guide the training, information, resources, and support we provide to parents throughout West Virginia.

Your participation is completely voluntary. You will not be asked to provide your name or any personally identifiable information. At the end of the survey, we ask a few demographic questions to ensure our resources reach communities across the state.

If you have any questions or would like to schedule a training or talk with a Parent Engagement Specialist, email wvpti@aol.com. Thank you for taking the time to participate and assist us in improving education for parents and families of children with disabilities in West Virginia.
