As the parents of children with disabilities, Ijeoma Ajoku and Judith Steuber share a common ground from which to foster a favorable relationship.  Over the years, they have discovered that the challenges faced by parents and educators of special needs students can be managed by showing resolve, seeking information and sharing knowledge.  As Parent Mentors, they look forward to working with you to better manage each child’s educational needs.
