Parent Trainings
King County Parent Coalition Trainings for Parents of Children with Developmental Disabilities
The King County Parent Training Grant provides free parent trainings on a range of subjects from early childhood issues to challenges facing aging families.
We are committed to ensuring that our trainings are accessible to and representative of our diverse community. Upon request, we provide child care stipends, and interpreters in the Department of Social & Health Services’ required languages: Spanish, Vietnamese, Laotian, Cambodian, Chinese, Korean, Japanese and Russian. Also upon request, we will arrange for interpreters for individuals with hearing impairments and provide materials in alternate formats.
The King County Parent Coalition is funded by a grant from the King County Developmental Disabilities Division.
