Please note:
We are a group of parents and caregivers that have decided to educate ourselves so that we are better able to advocate for our children with special needs. We will offer monthly speaker selections at our parent support meetings. We welcome all families that have children with special needs. We do not offer childcare at this time.
NOTE TO ALL: if you want to discuss items vital to your child's situation bring the necessary items for us all to look at so we can see what is written otherwise we are not able to effectively help.
