Parenting Special Kids Network

The Staff from Parenting Special Kids Network were so gracious to meet my family for breakfast, including our son with special needs, to share their knowledge of all the resources available for our son. Our family is new to Arizona, new to the world of special needs adults, and we felt very overwhelmed trying to navigate this alone. They provided us with leads to activities, resources to save money, and contacts for legal services, just to name a few. It was so comforting to have their guidance on our special needs journey.

As a director of a mission for adolescents with disabilities, whose aim is to create a sense of belonging, it can be daunting to witness the number of parents or guardians in need of assistance. From navigating the systems to the very real fears about what the future holds, and the longing for support from other families who understand, the Staff at Parenting Special Kids Network has served as a much-needed resource of knowledge and guidance. They stand by families in every aspect of their journey, from handling state-required paperwork to assisting them in finding care for their loved ones and connecting them with appropriate community resources as they transition to adulthood. I have had the privilege of witnessing the sighs of relief from parents and guardians who have benefitted in invaluable ways from their expertise.
