The purpose of the survey is to identify the ongoing and emerging information, support, and training needs of families. Data from the survey will be used to inform and improve the activities and build the capacity of family empowerment centers to continue to meet the needs families related to special education. Support for Families is the Family Empowerment Center (FEC) for San Francisco County and is a part of FEDC, so this survey will directly impact our ability to better assist you and meet your needs related to special education.
