WHO WE ARE

Mediation helps people get what they need, whether it's peace and quiet, family unity, a financial settlement, or just a chance to be heard. Our mediators include staff members and community volunteers who are professionally trained and committed to promoting peace in our communities. Whether a dispute involves two people, dozens of people, or several groups, we can help. We work in three areas:

  • Dispute Resolution Services
  • Mediator Training and Mediator Credentialing
  • Specialized and customized trainings for organizations

Special Education Mediation is a process in which parents of a child with a disability and a school meet with a neutral person (a mediator) to work out their differences. It is often chosen instead of an impartial hearing as a way of resolving disputes about a student's placement, services, evaluation, or classification.
