Community Liaison
We inform individuals with disabilities, families, school staff, and interested parties of the resources available at IEP or 504 planning meetings. We assist people in taking the necessary steps to prepare for life after school through our Informational Workshops, Community information and Liaisons Services, Presentations; “Life after High School” and other Informational presentations.
COmmunity liaison volunteers can provide information
The Arc has trained volunteers called Community Liaisons who explain the community resources and services available to students with disabilities and their families, especially those students who are in transition to adult services.
Community Liaisons can also attend IEP meetings when available upon invitation by the student, a family member, The Arc, or a local school district. During the meeting they are able to provide information about local services available, appropriate to the student's age.
They do not provide educational, parenting, or legal advice to the school or the parents. Community Liaison services can be provided either virtually or in person.
