HOW WE WORK WITH: Families
Families of individuals with disabilities face many challenges. Many have raised children without the assistance of government funded programs, but have reached the point where they need outside help. Others have been involved with school-based and community-based programs for many years, but have difficulty navigating the maze of
supports, especially in recent years as funding has diminished and staff turnover has increased. And many eldery caregivers have reached the point where they must begin contemplating the transition of responsibility to other family members, and do not know where to begin.
