Conclusion

Welcome to the Penn State AAC Mentor Project Website!

This website is designed to share what was learned as an outgrowth of the Penn State AAC Mentor Project. The Penn State AAC Mentor Project is an Internet-based mentoring program that links adolescents and young adults with significant communication disabilities with adults who have similar disabilities who serve as role models and mentors. The project is funded by the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) Grant #H133G8004.

This site is intended to provide a resource for others who hope to promote mentoring relationships as a source of support, especially for those who have disabilities.

Using the experience of the Penn State AAC Mentor Project, we hope to
	describe some of the benefits and challenges of mentoring,
	provide guidelines for setting up a mentor project,
	discuss issues to consider when establishing mentoring relationships,
	share some of the outcomes of the Penn State AAC Mentor Project, and
	offer additional resources for people who are interested in learning more about the Penn State AAC Mentor Project.
