The mission of the Ohio Parent Mentors is to provide the necessary support and resources to families of children with disabilities and the professionals who serve them.

 

Ohio Parent Mentor projects are funded through grants from the Ohio Department of Education (ODE).

 

Some of the services provided by the Parent Mentor include guiding parents through the special education process including rights and responsibilities, listening, providing support and information to families and staff, attending IEP meetings and other meetings when requested.

 

The Parent Mentor office contains an extensive collection of books, videos, and pamphlets for parents and staff to borrow.
