ParentWiser Event: Seeing Beyond the Surface: Understanding Invisible Disabilities

Issaquah PTSA Council ParentWiser Program invite ALL Issaquah School District families to join us for an enlightening Parent Education evening dedicated to uncovering the experiences of students living with “hidden” disabilities. In a world that often relies on what we can see, this event aims to broaden our perspective, fostering a community of empathy, respect, and support both within and outside our schools.

Our Panel of Speakers:

  • Student Perspectives: Annaka King, a student at Gibson Ek High School, will provide an essential overview of three distinct types of invisible disabilities.
  • The Power of Storytelling: Students from the Lens of Youth: Misunderstood Moments program will share personal narratives, giving a voice to the lived experiences of students in the Issaquah School District.
  • District Support & Resources: Jennifer Cassarino (ISD Director of Special Services) and Dr. Ashley Linn (ISD School Psychologist) will discuss how the district identifies and supports students with invisible disabilities to ensure every learner thrives.

The Goal: To bring awareness to the school community and cultivate an environment where every individual is understood and respected, regardless of whether their challenges are visible.
