Parent to Parent resources

Wanted to share the Parent 2Parent website, which we may have shared before, but want to remind everyone of the opportunity for families to get connected to another parent who has a similar experience and know first hand about the feelings and realities that come with parenting a child with special needs or disabilities.  

 
"At the heart of Parent to Parent Support is the opportunity for parents raising children with special needs to connect with another parent who has already learned the language and found the resources…someone who has “been there.”
 
Parent to Parent of Wisconsin provides parent support to parents of children with special needs through a one-to-one connection with another parent who has similar experience and who knows firsthand about the feelings and realities that come with having a child with special needs.

Support Parent Trainings for parents raising children with special needs that feel they are ready to become a Support Parent are held periodically throughout the state. "
