About PACER Center
www.pacer.org (this will open in a new browser window).
PACER Center is a parent center for families of children and young adults with all disabilities—physical, mental, learning, and emotional. Located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, its mission is to expand opportunities and enhance the quality of life of children and young adults with disabilities and their families, based on the concept of parents helping parents.
Through its ALLIANCE and other national projects, PACER, a national center, responds to thousands of parents and professionals each year. From California to Minnesota to New York, PACER resources make a difference in the lives of 7.0 million children with disabilities nationwide.
With assistance to individual families, workshops, materials for parents and professionals, and leadership in securing a free and appropriate public education for all children, PACER's work affects and encourages families in Minnesota and across the nation.
In 2004, PACER wrote and received a grant to develop a Web site to help prevent bullying. The grant was written in growing response to the calls and requests for individual assistance by the parents of children who were being targeted by bullying.
