What
We Do
EDUCATE.
ADVOCATE.
INTEGRATE.
NPA members are a talented and diverse community of parents and providers.
We know that complicated problems require interdisciplinary solutions.
So at NPA every voice is heard, respected, and valued.
Because of this interdisciplinary approach, the NPA is the only membership organization of its kind.
It is a place where you can learn from your colleagues from other disciplines and
share your own professional insights.
It is a place to grow professionally. And both mentor and be mentored.
Whether you are a parent, provider, caregiver, educator, or advocate
there are membership opportunities for you.
