Welcome to IPUT, Informed Parents United Together

Advocating for Universal Education and More!

A Non For Profit Agency

Mission

At an individual local network level, we seek to educate parents

and increase their advocacy for Inclusion of children and adults

with disabilities in General Education environments.

Vision

"All Children, All Together, All the Time!"

Philosophy

As a group of networks, we seek to support each other

and to combine our voices

to advocate for the inclusion of all children who are routinely seperated

and segregated based on disability.

As a statewide coalition of networks, we seek the

fundamental changes to the education system

that are necessary if we are ever to achieve

"All Children, All Together, All the Time."

We seek to align ourselves with like-minded

organizations and to a

dvocate for the adoption of policies, legislation,

and practices that support Universal Education.

Systems change happens for all, change can not

be made one person at a time.

To make effecient systems change, we must unite

and never settle, "All Kids, All Together, All the Time!"

What is Universal Education, it is not just Inclusion it means

All kids, All together, All the time..But with support and Collaborative planning!

Please check out our IEP Toolbox, and our Inclusion Links, we have links to nationwide and local Inclusion, *Universal Education* plans, programs, and more. All Children, All Together, All the Time.....

IPUT is looking to start a new IEP Buddy Program. We are inspired by other state starting their programs and think it's a great idea. We would like to volunteer to attend IEPS with each other for support, to make the process less intimidating, and to learn from each other's experiences. We think it is a great way to continue building our bridge together.
