Welcome to our Parents' Place site. If you need any information regarding workshops and support groups for parents of students with disabilities this is the right place to look. We also provide assistance with transition services and access to community agencies.You may contact Ms. Chavez for more information.

As a parent, What can you do to help your child with disabilities to succeed in school?

As a parent with a child with a disability, we want to do as much to help our children. In the attached video, we can appreciate the efforts and lengths parents will go to assist their children, no matter the difficulties they encounter. In this video, the parent does not speak English, creating a language barrier; however, he is practicing English sight words with his autistic son. We can learn that anything is achievable if you have the right mind-set, willingness and a positive attitude.

What kind of activities can you do with your children with disabilities? Here are some ideas:
