Extractions: Having a baby is one of life's greatest moments, and every parent dreams of having a happy, healthy one. So when a child with disabilities or special needs enters a family, at birth or diagnosis, it is rarely what the parents expected. Treasures are found in the unexpected, however, just as all children are a gift, Family Connection of South Carolina helps families recognize and celebrate the potential of that gift. Family Connection is a support network for families who have children with special needs. Founded in 1990, we're here to help thousands of children in South Carolina reach their potential by providing parent-to-parent connections, linking families to community resources, and sponsoring a number of educational and support programs. Our programs and services are centered around parent-to-parent networking, a program based in the principal that families with shared experiences are uniquely qualified to help each other. We match parents of children with disabilities with Support Parents who have children with similar conditions. These trained veteran Support Parents are an invaluable source of support and encouragement because they have faced similar challenges and celebrations. Family Connection of South Carolina is part of a worldwide network of parent-to-parent support programs and is financed through grants, donations and contracts with many private and governmental organizations.

Extractions: The Early Childhood Development and Academic Assistance Act of 1993, known as Act 135, added to Education Improvement Act funds to provide for the expansion of "Target 2000" to all 91 school districts by the year 1994-95 and allows schools more flexibility in using funds. In their five-year plans for serving children from birth to age five, districts must include a parenting/family literacy component that creates partnerships with health and human service agencies, adult education programs and community organizations. Districts also must make intensive efforts to recruit parents whose children are at risk for school failure, must provide parent education and are encouraged to offer parents opportunities to improve their education if they do not possess a high school diploma or its equivalent. The legislation provides for the State Board of Education to promulgate regulations, but these regulations have not yet been approved by the General Assembly. The "Guidelines for Implementing Parenting/Family Literacy As Required By Act 135" address service delivery methods, needs assessment and developmental screening. They call for an annual evaluation of each program and collaboration with other local agencies. In the "Guidelines," at-risk children are defined according to criteria including developmental delays, unstable homes, poverty, limited English proficiency, low educational level of parent, unusual age of caregiver, poor health, child abuse and neglect, inadequate parenting and inadequate access to critically needed family services.

NEW PALS schools in Lowndes County, Alabama; Cleveland, Ohio; and Florence, south carolina. The Neighborhood education Watch Creating parent Advocates and Leaders http://qemnetwork.qem.org/NEW PALS Project.html
Extractions: Education in Selected Communities With support from the National Science Foundation, the QEM Network piloted the NEW PALS initiative in ten communities from September 1999-April 2003. NEW PALS built on both current and past QEM programs in selected sites. Seven of these sites are public housing communities located near college campuses on which community service centers (CSCs) have been established to link the resources of the institutions to the educational needs of the residents, while the remaining three communities are part of a General Electric (GE) Fund-QEM partnership. Cleveland, Ohio; and Florence, South Carolina. Through NEW PALS, a core group of parents at each site has been trained and offered support to encourage them to become: stronger participants in the provision of quality science, mathematics, and technology (SMT) education for their children; and more informed advocates of quality education in their local schools. Efforts focused on (1) the design and implementation of a community-based institute at each location that offered parents a range of educational, training, and leadership development activities-tied to the educational level of their children; and (2) the creation and maintenance of an information and support network of educational resources available to parents electronically, via QEM's Website, an 800 number, and in printed form. An abbreviated version of this project is taking place in four public housing communities in Jacksonville, Florida, with support from the Doval County Public Schools.
