Description

The Liberal Arts Department’s focus on civic engagement coupled with the Teacher Education program of Martin University is partnering with local entities including the Black Autism Group, Adolescent Behavior Solutions, and Local school system administrators to provide a foundational conversation around helping children with exceptional needs. There is an alarming number of African American students (male in particular) who are diagnosed as ‘special needs’ however there is little if any support for parents and families in navigating the system to get the appropriate services. This forum will provide beginning information and conversation to help them leverage resources to meet the needs of their children/students
