Project LINK - Leaders In Education Networking Kids
LINK is a project of The Arc of TN and facilitates
team-building between families who have students with disabilities, and
the schools and educators who serve them.
Virginia Piper, the LINK Chair for Hamilton County, provides
mentoring to parents who have children with disabilities who attend
Hamilton County Schools and need some assistance with IEP's, etc. LINK
will be meeting during the year and also sponsoring workshops for

parents who wish to be involved in helping address issues in the
schools and who wish to be part of the solution.
