TIES Program Recognized by Webster School District

December 2, 2011
by Pam Merkle

The Webster Board of Education recently recognized Together Including Every Student (TIES) for its contributions to the community.

TIES promotes the participation of students with developmental disabilities in extracurricular and community activities by creating effective, natural support provided by trained student volunteers.

TIES was co-founded by Kathy Costello in 1998 and is now available in 30 school districts in Western New York.

Read more about TIES in the 12/2/11 Democrat and Chronicle article.

The Advocacy Center is a New York State Parent Training and Information Center (PTIC), serving all of New York except the 5 boroughs of New York City. The PTIC is funded through a grant from the Office of Special Education Programs, U.S. Department of Education.
