This is a network
of parents home schooling, or thinking about home schooling, their handicapped
child. The parents of any child who would be labeled by the Committee on Special
Education of the public school system would be invited to join PICC. Members
have children with a wide range of handicapping conditions such as learning
disabilities, attention deficit, cerebral palsy, blindness, and Down Syndrome.
There is a PICC Directory and a bi-monthly newsletter. If a family joins PICC
($7.50 annual membership - check made out to PICC), they get a copy of the (completely
confidential) Directory. Then, when families need help or encouragement, they
can call someone with a similar circumstance for encouragement or information.
PICC also has a lending library containing a wide variety of books, audio tapes
and video tapes which can be borrowed for a small fee by its members. PICC is
a source of legal information and an advocate for these families. PICC makes
available information concerning current NYS regulations, curriculum, and resources
for special needs children in New York State. They have representatives on the
Home Instruction Advisory Group in Albany advising the State Education Department
about home schooling regulation and policy.
