Special Education Surrogate Parent Program (SESPP)

About

The Special Education Surrogate Parent (SESP) Program is a statewide organization that assigns volunteer special education decision-makers to students who are in state custody; whose parents are unknown or not located; or who classify as Unaccompanied Homeless Youth.  The program identifies eligible students and matches the student to a trained volunteer, who then works with other members of the team to develop an appropriate educational program and placement.  Our Special Education Surrogate Parents have been serving students across Massachusetts for over 30 years.

If you are a service provider and you think one of your student clients may be eligible, please contact Megan Ronzio, Director, at mronzio@sespprogram.org or 508-792-7679 X5811 for more information.   If you are interested in learning more about volunteering as a Special Education Surrogate Parent (and joining the almost 600 other volunteers across Massachusetts who already do this important work) please visit click here.
