SEPTAs in Missouri
Building Communities, Empowering Families
SEPTAs, or Special Education Parent Teacher Associations, serve as vital hubs for families with children who have special needs. These associations offer a platform for parents to connect, share resources, and advocate collectively for their children. SEPTAs provide structured support, valuable networking opportunities, and a unified voice for families and educators alike.
Where are SEPTAs in Missouri?
In recent years, SEPTAs have been established in various Missouri communities, including Columbia, Hannibal, and Jefferson City. The Columbia SEPTA, known as CoMO SEPTA, has emerged as a prominent advocate for special education initiatives with its dedicated website.
MoDE Foundation envisions the expansion of SEPTAs across the state, fostering a network of empowered parents committed to improving special education policies in schools. Whether you're considering launching a SEPTA in your district or seeking assistance for an existing association, we're here to support you every step of the way.

If you're interested in initiating a SEPTA in your school district, we're here to assist you.

Additionally, grants may be available to support the establishment of SEPTAs in your community.
