What Is PEP?
PEP Is Parents
Encouraging Parents!
The Exceptional Student Services Unit (ESSU) at the Colorado Department of Education (CDE) plan conferences
throughout the year that are family-centered and designed to offer support, information, and education to parents and
professionals. We call them PEP Conferences!
PEP and its conferences promote partnerships that are essential in supporting and including children
with disabilities and their families in schools and the community.
Are you a Colorado parent or guardian who has a child with a disability from ages
birth to
twenty-one? Are you a Colorado administrator, principal, teacher, medical or other service provider who is
interested in the family-professional partnership? We encourage and invite you to participate in a
PEP Conference.

I was truly inspired with this conference! The amount of information and resources made available to us was so valuable. I could not be more grateful for the opportunity. My daughter will benefit big time! Parent
It is probably the best educational conference Ive been to because of the content and participants. I think administrators should be encouraged to attend! School Professional
