PEP Conference Information & Typical Conference Schedule

Three PEP Conferences are offered throughout the school year - one in the fall and two in the spring. The purpose of these conferences is to bring Colorado parents and professionals together to allow them an opportunity to share ideas, discuss concerns, celebrate success, and obtain information relating to parenting, educating and supporting a child with a disability - ages birth to twenty-one.

Each two and one-half day PEP Conference begins Thursday evening at 5:00 p.m. and continues through Saturday afternoon until 3:00 p.m. The Colorado Department of Education pays for all lodging and participant meals (excluding Friday evening’s meal). With these provisions to participants, we hope to provide the opportunity of the PEP experience to all interested families!
