Resources
Navigating the process of obtaining services for children can be a daunting task for parents. To assist families, the RMU Trees Network has created collection of information about these services and resources.

To prepare future special education teachers to educate students with intellectual disabilities to have engaged, productive, and successful careers and lives, the RMU Trees Network will provide scholarships for students studying special education at RMU. Scholarship recipients will provide direct services through the RMU Trees Network.
Scholarships are available! Applications are due May 1st. See the RMU Trees Network Student Scholarship Application to apply.
