About Our Speaker...
Threshold Community Program
Threshold Community Program supports:
- Individual and group counseling aimed at addressing social communication and adjustment issues, anxiety, depression, and other mood/mental health issues. Counseling also addresses issues related to transitioning to adulthood (e.g., college, career, independence).
- Group experiences used to strengthen social communication. Examples include a tabletop gaming, group and experiential, outing-based groups.
- Academic tutoring and support at the middle, high school, and college levels to support educational achievement.
- six-week summer program uses a flexible structure to strengthen social-emotional functioning, and support transition-to-independence goals.
- The summer program is a great way for regular program participants to extend and continue working on their existing goals.
- It’s also a great way for someone attending another academic-year program to connect with our community and benefit from our services.

About Our Speaker...
Cheryl Grant, Parent Mentor for Special Education
Parent Mentors are parents of children with disabilities hired by the district to support family engagement, as well as special education directors and other administrators, teachers, and support personnel within the district.
Parent mentors support other parents by providing information and resources to help their children succeed in school and transition from school to adult life. The mentors work to increase parent participation in IEP meetings, provide information related to improving reading and math, graduation rates, and help parents locate needed services and supports.
