Family Support Summitt

We are planning a Family Support Summit in the late fall in the Wausau area. We hosted similar events in Ashland and Minocqua and are looking for input from families on what topics to cover, suggested speakers, etc. This will be an evening or weekend event with sessions focused on all sorts of services and types of disabilities/ special health care needs.

Topics that have been discussed include:

  • Understanding different diagnoses and how best to support my child
  • Keeping Autistic Kids safe
  • What to do while you are waiting for services for your child
  • Sensory seekers/avoiders

We are also looking for those interested in having “Watch Parties” in the Northwoods.

Please reach out to us at crcnorth@co.marathon.wi.us if you are interested in providing input or helping. Families are welcome to send any suggestions regardless if they are not interested in being on the planning committee.  Meetings to provide input will be on:
