Parent Mentor
What is a Parent Mentor?
Parent Mentors are moms and dads of one or more children with special learning and/or physical needs. They work within the school system by building bridges between home and school. The parent mentor initiative is spear headed by the Department of Education for Exceptional Students, both locally and at the state level. More information on parent mentors can be found at www.parentmentors.org
