PARENT MENTORS MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR FAMILIES AND STUDENTS
Since 1991, Ohio Parent Mentors have helped families navigate local and state special education processes and services so that children with disabilities can get the most out of their educational experience. Using our lived experience and an evidence-based approach, we work in collaboration with families, schools, and agencies to create the conditions for success for your child.
Currently, there are approximately 100 Parent Mentor Projects in Ohio. They serve more than one-third of the schools and families in Ohio’s school districts. With our support as peers and trained mentors, parents will understand the special education process and become better advocates for their children. Ohio’s Parent Mentor Project offers all services free of charge to families.
