What is SPECIAL Needs?

As my husband, Tony, and I have been in the throws of parenting an exceptional child, we have found that it can be difficult to have the support and understanding of people who don't truly understand what all life entails to parent our son. We have been very fortunate to have some great friends and family that support us; however, they all do not understand what our life is like. As such, we have felt it is important to have a group where parents can come together to have a time to talk and share with other parents in similar situations, which is where SPECIAL Needs comes into play.

SPECIAL Needs stands for Supporting Parents of Exceptional Children by Informing, Advocating, and Listening.

If you are the parent of a child (or children) with special needs, we are here for you, whether it's too listen or help you locate services that are out there to help you and your family. In the near future we will be setting some dates to get together to meet and doing some fun activities.

Let's support each other on this journey that we are walking on.
