What does Montana Empowerment Center, Inc do?
Montana Empowerment Center, Inc. is Montana’s Parent Training Information Center (PTI).
Montana Empowerment Center, Inc is excited to announce that they have received the grant for the Parent Training Information Center grant for Montana. MEC was founded in 2018 by families of children with disabilities and has been staffed, managed, and governed by parents and individuals with disabilities. Many of the staff have very personal ties to this work as they have experienced firsthand the difficulty of accessing information, making connections, and forming relationships to best advocate for themselves, their child, and their families. The mission of MEC is to empower, encourage, and educate all Montana families of children and young adults (birth to 26 years of age) with disabilities. We at MEC are very optimistic and look forward to hearing from you our Montana families.
PTIs are federally funded programs through the United States Department of Education Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) authorized in Part D of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). PTIs serve families of children with disabilities who are ages birth through 26. We serve families of children with the full range of disabilities.

Does anyone know why children are not designated as having a special need when they receive a "gifted" designation. Being gifted definitely impacts learning in the general education setting and other states develop IEPs for gifted students, yet Montana doesn't even add it to their IEPs in conjunction with other designations like ASD.
Montana PTI has been honored and privileged to work with Montana families, educators and providers during the past year. We look forward to working with Montana Empowerment Center, Inc. to ensure a smooth and seamless transition to Montana’s new Parent Training and Information (PTI) Center.
