Special Education Resources/SEPTSA
Posted: September 30, 2010
Geniece S. Brown, a certified mediator with Centerpoint Resolution Specialists, LLC in Vancouver, Washington recently shared with me information regarding the Special Education Parent Teacher Student Association ("SEPTSA"). Vancouver SEPTSA has the distinction of being the first Special Ed PTA unit in Washington State. It provides wonderful educational opportunities for parents and teachers at frequent conferences and workshops, bringing in nationally known specialists and local experts who speak to the issues directly affecting children with disabilities and their families. Most events are free of charge. Contact SEPTSAinfo@gmail.com to get on their monthly event calendar mailing list. SEPTA's goals are:
- Reduce isolation among families
- Improve education and share resource ideas
- Connect with regional and state PTA activities
- Encourage students to pursue careers in special education
- Build a collaborative environment among school professionals and families

HomePath: New Home Mortgage Program
Posted: September 7, 2010
Many divorced people find themselves without a home to live in because they had to sell the family home to pay debts or to share equity with their former spouse. Now they are forced to rent which can be frustrating if you have a good steady job and are able to afford a home but simply do not have enough money for a down payment. A new mortgage program can help however. HomePath is a little known national lending program offered by Fannie Mae, the huge mortgage company that found itself saddled with thousands of foreclosed properties. This program allows you to purchase a foreclosed home "as is" with a minimal down payment, 600 plus credit score, no appraisal, and competitive interest rates. For more information go to Homepath.com.
