What is the FAMILIES TO THE MAX Network?

The FAMILIES TO THE MAX: Pennsylvania Statewide Family Network (F2MAX) is an organization of families and professionals advocating to presume competence and increase opportunities for students with disabilities who have not, historically, received the same grade-level, standards-aligned instruction provided to their same-age peers.

FAMILIES TO THE MAX was created through a federally funded state personnel development grant (SPDG), called Project MAX, awarded to Pennsylvania in 2012; was sustained by a second SPDG, P2G (Middle School Success: Path to Graduation) awarded in 2017; and is currently funded by a third grant, Success for PA Early Learners (SPEL), awarded in 2023. Following the beliefs of MAXimizing Academic Access, Expectations and Learning, the Network collaborates with families, educators, related services providers, and the community to promote maximizing access, raising expectations, and learning for all students, including those with diverse needs.
