The Policy and Advocacy Community of Practice (PA CoP) brings together a national network of individuals who are committed to deepening their knowledge of and engagement in public policies that affect young children (0-8) with disabilities and other special needs and their families. Community members have a passion for and understand that advocacy is a powerful mechanism for proactively influencing the policy process. The community
provides a space where members share information about state/local public policy issues and engage with supportive peers to identify advocacy-based solutions.
