Our primary goal is to help our community better understand special needs so that our children can be accepted as the diverse people they are. We wish to promote tolerance and understanding so that families who have children with special needs, especially those with invisible disabilities, feel less stress and more inclusion.
If you are looking for information on how you can better serve special needs families, feel free to contact our Executive Director, Angela Fish, to see how she may be able to help you. Each speaking or consulting engagement is personalized to meet your specific goals.
Angela Fish has two boys diagnosed on the autism spectrum and has first-hand knowledge of how hard it can be to leave the relative safety of your home to go out to do simple activities in the community. Families who have children with special needs can experience intense anxiety, worry and stress. It easily becomes worse when those families are the subject of scorn, ridicule, intolerance, or other sorts of negativity surrounding their child or their child's behavior. Families want and need to participate in their communities! Help us create a better environment for this to happen.

We benefitted from a new perspective and new strategies. It is vital to be reminded of the big and small ways that we can support all children and all families."
-Alyssa Tongue, Program Manager

"Too often we get told how things are from people who study or are 'experts' but actually hearing it first hand from a parent with a child with autism was great. I started the training not knowing much about autism except there are so many different characteristics/aspects of it and now I do feel more educated on what to look for and ways to help."
