What makes our organization unique?

​

​

The perspective we bring is family-oriented.  Our staff are parents or guardians of children who have experienced the same challenges and successes as the families we serve.

​

We have walked in the shoes of being part of a family that deals with the daily realities, blessings, and challenges of having children with these special needs.

​

 

the difference we make

​IS REAL.
