The Parent Mentor provides free information, support, and training to help families and districts with needs related to special education. The Parent Mentor draws on knowledge and experience gained through Ohio Department of Education trainings and as a parent of a child with a disability.

The Role of the Parent Mentor:

• Guide families through the special education process and explain parents’ rights and responsibilities,
• Provide information and resources to families and school personnel on education laws, district programs and services, and community resources;
• Attend Individual Education Program (IEP), 3-year assessment (ETR), 504, and other meetings at the request of parent or educational staff

The Tri-County Parent Mentor Program is funded by a grant from the Ohio Department of Education.
