Legadel offers robust family advocacy and support services to empower parents. Our team can assist you in navigating the special education system – whether it’s understanding your child’s IEP, accessing external services, or knowing your rights within the school district. We provide personalized consultations to address your concerns and goals for your child.

Additionally, we host periodic parent workshops and support groups. These gatherings allow parents to share experiences, learn strategies from professionals, and gain strength from our community. Topics may include behavior management at home, communication techniques, stress management for caregivers, and how to reinforce therapy goals in daily routines. We strive to create a warm, non-judgmental space where you can ask questions and celebrate progress.

Our after-school programs are also a valuable resource for parents. Knowing that your child has a safe, structured, and enjoyable place to go after the regular school day brings peace of mind. In these programs, children continue to learn and socialize under caring supervision, allowing parents to manage their schedules or attend to other responsibilities. We encourage parents to explore our after-school offerings (detailed in the Programs section) as part of a well-rounded support plan for your child. Many parents find that after-school activities not only benefit their child’s development but also provide a needed respite in the afternoons.

Legadel’s commitment to community outreach benefits parents as well as students. Through our community engagement efforts, we aim to build a more inclusive world for your child. We often share information about local events, inclusive recreational programs, or community resources that might interest your family. By participating in these outreach events – such as disability awareness fairs, family fun days, or charitable walks – parents can connect with a broader network of allies and advocates. It’s also an opportunity for siblings, grandparents, and friends to get involved and show support.
