Upcoming Parent-to-Parent Trainings

This free training is for parents (birth/adoptive/foster) and caregivers of children with special needs. Connecting with another parent who has a child with a similar disability or special needs can be one of the most helpful resources a parent will have – it can help make their journey a little easier.
