Our Parent Educators

The Parent Educators, who are all parents of children with disabilities or chronic illnesses, provide assistance to families on issues related to their child's disability, particularly about special education. The parent educators support and educate families on their rights in special education. They provide training in their local regions through a series of workshops geared for parents.
