Why refer families to Raising Special Kids?

It is a cornerstone belief at Raising Special Kids that collaboration between families and professionals results in the best possible outcomes for children with disabilities.

Raising Special Kids provides training and information to parents to help them understand their rights, roles, and responsibilities in their child’s health care and education. Parents who understand the processes and systems of support are more able to participate effectively in meetings and on teams.

Services are provided to families at no cost, with no qualification barriers to the help and information they need.
