Leadership in Disabilities and Achievement of Hawaii - Honolulu

Our mission is to enhance educational, work and life opportunities for children and youth with or at risk of disabilities by empowering them and their families through screening, identification, information, training and mentoring, and by public outreach and advocacy. Our vision is for Individuals have choice and access to educational, work and life opportunities to be successful regardless of their disabilities. The goal of LDAH is to help families and schools to understand the IDEA and how to use it to benefit children with all disabilities. We serve families of children of all ages (birth to 26) and all disabilities (physical, cognitive, behavioral, and emotional) by providing a variety of services including one-on-one support and assistance, workshops, publications, and web sites. The majority of Parent Center staff and board are parents of children with disabilities, so they are able to bring personal experience and expertise when working with families.
