AADD offers Project L.E.A.P (Learning Effective and Applicable Parenting), for individuals with cognitive disabilities who are parenting. Project L.E.A.P. consist of two components: in-home parent training, and site-based support services. Project LEAP empowers its participants to “leap” towards positive outcomes for themselves and their children. The program provides in-home parent training sessions implemented by a trained Family Intervention Specialist (FIS) and a bi-weekly Parent Education and Support group. The FIS assesses the developmental, psychosocial, educational needs, desires, preferences, and concerns of the parent and their children. The FIS in conjunction with the parent develops a Family Plan, which will identify the needs, strengths, and weaknesses of the parents as well as the goals and outcomes of the intervention. Additionally, the program supports parents in obtaining the services, supplies, equipment, and aid needed to attain and maintain health and safety for themselves and their children.
