We are the Parent Training and Information Center for the State of Hawai’i and Pacific Islands.
Our Mission – 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 – 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.
School Readiness Project – The School Readiness Project (SRP) provides services for families of children, up to age five, throughout O`ahu. We provide developmental, social-emotional, hearing, vision and autism screenings. SRP works to strengthen families through case management and parent education. Let us be part of your family’s medical home and support pediatricians to better meet the needs of your child. The goal of the School Readiness Project is to support children in gaining the skills to be successful in their education.
SRP is a collaborative project with Aloha United Way, The Community Learning Center at Ma`ili, Harry & Jeanette Weinberg Kukui Center, and Kamehameha Schools.
Contact LDAH to schedule a screening event in your community. Individual screenings are also available by appointment in both our Honolulu and Waianae offices. Phone: 808-696-5361 https://ldahawaii.org/school-readiness-project/
