There are many times throughout the years of a child’s growing up and living a whole life that present surprises, challenges and new adventures. You are not alone! You may have questions come up specific to the age of your child, such as teething and toileting a little one or dating and independence for a young adult. Questions might be specific to navigating special education in school or navigating community and supports at home. The following are areas in which we provide resources, trainings and peer-to-peer support:

Some of us join book clubs, some join a choir or team, but all of us want to have friends and to belong and contribute to our community. You can find tips, tools and resources for building friendships, addressing bullying, and accessing community programs like parks and rec. and communities of faith.

Children experiencing Intellectual/Developmental Disability (IDD) might be eligible for services that support them in accessing community and with increased independence.
