What this is, in plain language
FRCD helps Chicago-area parents of disabled children understand their rights under special education law, prepare for IEP meetings, and communicate with school staff, through webinars, training sessions and one-to-one help.
Written from what the provider publishes, to save you decoding it. It describes the service; it is not our view of how good it is.
What they say about themselves
Taken from the provider's own website. We have not verified the claims — the parent reviews below are the other half of the picture.
- Family Resource Center on Disabilities (FRCD) says it serves families of disabled children across eight Illinois counties — Cook, DuPage, Grundy, Kane, Kendall, Lake, McHenry and Will — which includes Aurora.
- It helps families understand their rights under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), take part in IEP meetings, and communicate with school staff, through webinars, training sessions and individual consultations.
- The site posts a notice that FRCD stopped holding the role of Illinois' official Parent Training and Information Center (PTIC) as of October 1, 2025, with Family Matters PTIC taking over that designation; FRCD's own notice says its future services are not yet fully defined, though its website, phone line and webinars remain active.
- It also publishes Spanish-language material, including a Spanish version of its brochure and Spanish-language events.
