Parent & Child Support Program

 We provide a listening ear and understanding heart. Our team connects caregivers with others who truly understand, offering encouragement and helping reduce guilt and burnout. Every parent deserves support without judgment. 

 Navigating special education can feel overwhelming — but you don’t have to do it alone. We help families understand their rights, prepare for meetings, interpret IEP or 504 language, and communicate effectively with schools. 

 Families often don’t know where to begin. We guide parents through the process of applying for waiver services, connecting with local therapies, understanding evaluations, and accessing Medicaid or respite resources. We also share grant and financial aid opportunities. 

 When challenging moments arise, we help families plan ahead. From creating safety plans and understanding behaviors to practicing de-escalation and crisis-prevention strategies, our focus is on equipping parents with calm, practical tools. 

 We offer hands-on training and one-on-one coaching to build confidence at home and in the community. Families learn how to:

• Use visual supports and routines
• Reinforce positive behaviors
• Create sensory-friendly spaces
• Advocate effectively at doctor or school appointments
• Track data and progress with confidence

 We believe no family should ever feel alone. Through inclusive playdates, parent meetups, and support groups, we connect families, build friendships, and create safe, welcoming spaces for all.

 Parenting a child with unique needs can be exhausting. We help caregivers find balance — sharing stress-reduction tools, mental health resources, and ways to build a reliable support network. 

 Knowledge is empowerment. We host workshops, classes, and online learning opportunities focused on evidence-based strategies, parent confidence, and lifelong advocacy skills. 

 We help families create visual tools such as schedules, first/then boards, and communication visuals to support routines, transitions, and independence. 

 Predictable routines reduce stress and increase confidence. We help families build daily structures for mornings, bedtime, school transitions, and more. 

 Every child experiences the world differently. We offer sensory-friendly ideas, calming corner setups, and strategies for managing sensory overload or triggers. 

 We teach proactive strategies that focus on understanding, not punishment. Families learn how to prevent meltdowns, use reinforcement effectively, and respond calmly during challenging moments. 

 We guide parents in teaching independence with visuals and step-by-step methods for brushing teeth, bathing, dressing, chores, and other everyday routines. 

 Safety is always a top priority. We provide strategies for preventing wandering, creating home and community safety plans, and participating in Safe Return programs.
