Description:
The PEPNet Regional Centers are currently in their third funding cycle (October 1, 2006 - September 30, 2011), and the OSERS Office of Special Education Programs called for the PEPNet regional centers to cooperatively create a shared identity and develop best practices for ensuring that services are available virtually anywhere within the United States and its territories. OSERS also expanded the group of stakeholders to which PEPNet provides resources to include secondary education staff, students, and parents. These stakeholders are in addition to the stakeholders previously served, which included postsecondary institutions, vocational rehabilitation, and community agency personnel.
PEPNet now provides services that support a deaf or hard of hearing student's transition from high school to advanced educational programs, colleges and universities, and other training programs. PEPNet's regional centers have changed their names to emphasize the shared identity within PEPNet and the ongoing collaboration and coordination of activities and services. The four regional centers are:
PEPNet-Midwest at Saint Paul College;
PEPNet-Northeast at Rochester Institute of Technology;
PEPNet-South at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville;
PEPNet-West at California State University, Northridge.
