The Parent Mentors of the PEAL Center reach out to families in the 43 counties of Western and Central Pennsylvania to share best practices, information and resources. This Western and Central PA program helps ensure that all students with disabilities receive quality educational services.
PEAL's Parent Mentors serve as links between the PEAL Center, family and service agencies and serve on local advisory boards to ensure that the family voice is always heard.
A Parent Mentor also facilitates discussions on special education with local groups and coordinates free formal and informal trainings for parents and educators.
