Studies show that parents of special needs children experience a great deal of stress and often unmet personal needs that harm their marriage and families. Many parents feel their own health worsens and their is often chronic sadness.

That's why we advocate for the entire family to provide the counseling and therapy needed to allow for rest and respite care.

✨ Affirm today: I am worthy of rest and can choose to love myself 💜

⚠️IT'S FRIDAY FUN DAY🤩

When working with children, as social workers we use a variety of modalities including talk, reading books, play, and art to allow the child opportunities for self-expression. It's important to deposit good memories, they sometimes last a lifetime.

👶🏽Cultivating fun and play with your child:
💫 Have a dance party💃🏽
💫 Movies and snacks always a hit🍿
💫 Candyland, Yahtzee, Monopoly, there's a board game that will be a fave!
💫 Puppets, Stuffed animals and masks
💫 Bake a sweet treat together, have fun and make it tasty with lots of sprinkles 😋

It doesn't take a lot for children to enjoy themselves.

"On the home front, meanwhile, these parents are feeding their kids through gastronomy tubes. Changing diapers. Cleaning IV ports. Scheduling appointments. Spending days on the phone with insurance companies battling for medications, supplies, therapies and nursing care. These acts of love are their daily advocacy. There is no time to take a breather, no putting it off till tomorrow."

- Carrie Steingruber, DFWChild

We understand the level of support needed is extraordinary for your extraordinary child. That's why respite care is not an option, it truly is a necessity.

As a parent you have the right to choose where your children will be educated. It is important to understand the rights and privileges when attending public schools.

An IEP is an important part of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA 2004) made specifically for parents with special needs and their education team.
