Wood County Educational Service Center's L.I.F.E. Skills-Specially Designed Programming for Low Incidence is designed to provide educational opportunities for your child to learn the academic, social and functional skills they will need to be a happy, healthy and productive adult. The title, L.I.F.E. stands for Learning Independence through Functional Education. We recognize that each child is unique. With each classroom being located throughout Wood County Local School Districts, we work hard to offer a continuum of services for those students needing specially designed programming to obtain success in school and life.

Cindy Herman - Parent Mentor
The Parent Mentor program is a support network for parents of children with disabilities. I help out with parents who need support or whom do not understand the special education process. I can meet with parents prior to a scheduled school meeting and also accompany them to the meeting to assist the parents in working with the school team for their child. This is available at no extra cost to any participating districts or parents. We are funded by a federal grant.
I have also created a DVD Library list that is available for parents and teachers to borrow on a variety of topics relating to special education.
