Adoption Network Cleveland recognizes that many adoptive families deal with issues related to school. Our Parent Educational Liaison provides support for adoptive parents whose children are experiencing any challenges at school. Adoption Network Cleveland is here to educate families and schools about issues that affect adoptive families and provide all involved with strategies for success.

Robert “Gib” Gibbons, our Parent Educational Liaison, has over 30 years of experience with schools and youth of all ages. With parent’s permission, Gib can attend IEP, 504 and other planning or disciplinary meetings. Parents and schools can also call for an individual consultation.

There is no fee for families to consult with our Parent Educational Liaison, but we ask that all families that use our services to become members of Adoption Network Cleveland. (A sliding scale is available for families who have adopted or are in the process of adopting from the public child welfare system and cannot afford to pay the full membership cost.) 

For more information about support and resources if you or your children are experiencing any educational challenges, contact Robert Gibbons at (216) 482-2332.
