Helpful Resource for Parents

Here is a helpful resource I have found for parents of children with disabilities.

Services that are offered include:

Assistance and support at all ages and stages of your child's development from birth to age 26.
Individual problem-solving support to understand and access the programs, health plans, and services your child may need.
Accurate, authoritative information related to your child's disability or special health condition.
Special education consultations, training, and problem-resolution.
Parent-to-parent connections with a trained parent "mentor" who has a child with a similar diagnosis and is skilled at providing information and support.
Workshops and training geared to increase advocacy skills, and improve your ability to work with professionals on your child's educational and medical needs.
Referrals to agencies, organizations, and community resources with expertise to meet your family needs.
