The Parent Connections program is designed to engage parents in  at-risk neighborhoods
in the education process, enabling them to intervene on behalf of their children at risk for
specific learning disabilities. The focus of the work is with the parents of youth at-risk for SLD.
Parent Connections is aimed at engaging the parents of these children who live in the
neighborhoods, by educating and empowering them to become active in their child’s education.
By doing so, LDANEO works in collaboration with communities and envisions that the neighborhood
parents will be more engaged in the process, gain a clearer understanding of the value of
education for their students at-risk for SLD and that their children, in turn, will demonstrate
improved academic performance, attendance at school and the desire to earn a high school diploma.

Parent Connections is a site based program.

Area professionals will speak on selected topics about specific learning disabilities, the special
education process, assistive technology, and other resources. The Family Speakers series is open
to the community. Professionals and experts in the field facilitate. The Family Speaker Series is a
community outreach initiative with the goal of educating communities about SLD and its impact.
