A project was conducted in New York City to train parent educators through a trainer-of-trainers model to respond to the career development needs of inner-city handicapped elementary school children and their families. The project enabled parents to intervene early and effectively in the career development process of their children. During a 3-year period, the project trained 169 representatives from a cross-section of community elementary schools and organizations to train parents of elementary school children who are in special education programs. The project consisted of field-based training seminars and practice conducted at a centrally located facility in the community. In the practice, parent-trainers conducted a series of parent education workshops for 480 parents. Workshops were conducted in English and Spanish. Implicit in the program design was the attention given to training parent-trainers as role models. The project was well received by parent-trainers and parents and received wide support of community organizations and schools. It is being disseminated to other locations.
