The CPIR shares news and resources with the Parent Center network and others via our e-newsletter the Buzz from the Hub.
Each Buzz spotlights an issue of importance to Parent Centers, identifies resources on the network’s priority topics, and includes resources Parent Centers can share with the families they serve.

The Buzz is Back! We took a break, solicited your feedback, and we’re thrilled to announce some exciting changes to the Buzz from the Hub! Once you sign up you can expect to find the monthly Buzz in your inbox! We’re thrilled to introduce a fresh new look with informative articles, upcoming events, and resources designed with you in mind. Feel free to share far and wide with those who you feel will benefit from the information found in the Buzz!
This first issue of the Feburary 2022 Buzz connects you with the recent flurry of webinars that CPIR and others have held, each of which enriches the field with much-needed tools to inform and support families of children with disabilities, the children and youth themselves, and the multiple systems concerned with improving their outcomes educationally and in life.
We have lots of news to share with you in this Buzz, including Spanish versions of OSEP’s series of Return to School Roadmaps; how states are using funding from the American Rescue Plan to address COVID-19’s impact on schools, staff, and students; and transition-related info you can share with schools and the families you serve.
This first Buzz of 2022 shares multiple family-friendly resources about the evaluation process under IDEA. Use the resources as refreshers of what families already know and have experienced in the past, and share these nuts-and-bolts pieces with those new to the process.
This Buzz brings you relevant resources that can help parents and other IEP team members revisit their student’s IEP and the core of what they know about that student’s social, emotional, behavioral, and mental health needs.
No, this Buzz is not about twins. Rather, it’s a special double issue–2 Buzzes in 1. There’s so much news buzzing around this month and so much to do as the holiday season presses nearer, we thought you might appreciate one longer Buzz instead of 2 shorter ones, as well as many new connections to materials in Spanish.
This Buzz has the simplest of themes but a diversity of resources to support you in your work with schools, educators, and families of children with disabilities. We are especially pleased to share with you the latest webinar featuring OSEP’s guidance on development and implementation of IEPs as schools reopen to in-person learning.
