Case Management

We advocate for, coordinate, and monitor services to improve the quality of life for individuals with special needs.

We assist families to navigate the IEP/ISP process, as well as coordinating with community agencies, and/or school districts, on programming and support systems outlined in the IEP plan.

Support Groups, Workshops, and Parenting Classes

We provide workshops, parenting classes and support groups focused on empowering parents with the knowledge, strategies and supports to improve their lives and the life of their child with special needs.
