PEAK Parent Center offers free training and guidance that empower Colorado families to navigate special education. Grants support much of what we do, but community giving is vital to keeping these services strong. Your donation empowers families in providing a bright future for their children with a disability.
SERVICES
PEAK Parent Center was founded by parents of children with disabilities. Supporting families so their children have great lives is at the foundation of all that we do. Many of PEAK’s services focus on supporting parents and youth including:
Trained Parent Advisors provide individualized information, support, and referrals to families by phone, email, and in-person.
Parent Connectors located in various communities across the State of Colorado, ensure that families and educators receive information about PEAK’s resources so they can build their capacity to work together to improve educational results for students with disabilities
Free Webinars & Community Workshops in locations across Colorado, plus online webinars on key topics for families, youth, and educators.
Our Project POWER program supports parent centers in Region D2 (Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah) to build capacity for their transitioning youth with disabilities ages 14-26 and their families.
Our Personal Network program strengthens the social and personal development of young adults with disabilities, helping them build resilience, self-determination, and well-being. The program introduces creative, community-based approaches that support their transition to adulthood and foster lifelong meaningful relationships.
Our Conference on Inclusive Education is an excellent development opportunity for everyone involved in the education and support of students with disabilities. We are currently planning for fall 2026.

PEAK Parent Center is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that relies on grants, individual, corporate, and foundation donations. All financial contributions are tax-deductible. PEAK is a fiscally responsible organization: less than 10% of every dollar that is donated is spent on management and fundraising, meaning that more than 90% of all funds raised directly help PEAK help families. Your charitable donation ensures that PEAK’s services can continue to help families and educators realize new possibilities for all children with disabilities!
The mission of PEAK Parent Center is to provide training, information and technical assistance to equip families of children birth through twenty-six including all disability conditions with strategies to advocate successfully for their children.
For more than 40 years, PEAK Parent Center has empowered Colorado families of children with disabilities with the information, guidance, and advocacy support they need to help their children thrive. Our work is mission-driven, rooted in the belief that every family deserves the chance to help their child grow into a confident, capable, and fully included member of their community.
In Colorado, over 100,000 children receive special education services. Many require long-term support, and families often face fear, uncertainty, and overwhelming decisions when a child is diagnosed with a disability. PEAK provides the tools, knowledge, and encouragement families need to navigate education, services, and life planning with confidence.
Through free training, resources, mentoring, and individualized assistance, offered in both English and Spanish, PEAK helps families understand their child’s needs and become strong advocates for their future. “Helping Families, Helping Children” reflects our commitment to empowering families, honoring their expertise, and ensuring they never have to navigate these challenges alone.
Founded in 1986 from a grassroots parent support group, PEAK has grown into Colorado’s federally designated Parent Training and Information Center, a respected leader in inclusive education, and a trusted partner to families and professionals statewide.
While we are primarily funded through grants, your support ensures PEAK can sustain these vital services and continue standing with families across Colorado as they build bright futures for their children with a disability.
