The Parent Mentor Role

A Parent Mentor is a fellow parent of a child with a disability.  A parent mentor is employed by a school district, educational agency, or an educational service center (ESC).  The purpose of a Parent mentor is to serve as a bridge between families and the school district.  This is accomplished by providing support, information, training sessions, and parent events, just to name a few.

If your IEP student is 14-21 years of age, they are in post secondary transition. Transition allows the IEP team to help plan for the student's future - click on the transition logo above to find out how we can help.
