To provide general operating support to this grassroots organization, which educates and advocates on behalf of parents of children with disabilities who are involved in or at risk of involvement with the juvenile justice, special education, mental health or child welfare systems. AFCAMP staff handles individual cases, all of which involve an education matter, and conduct trainings and workshops in Hartford and New Haven on the rights of parents and children who come in contact with public systems. AFCAMP parents serve on several state and local coalitions focused on special education, juvenile justice, child welfare and other issues to advocate policy and practice changes that they believe will improve outcomes for youth with disabilities.
