Parent to Parent NYS

A statewide organization providing a place where families of individuals with special needs & professionals who serve them can meet and share information.

Parent to Parent of NYS is a place where families of individuals with special needs and the professionals who serve them can meet and share information. We've walked the walk and are here to help other families:
Support – We offer parents/caregivers the opportunity to connect one-to-one with a parent/caregiver of an individual with the same or similar disability or special health care need – someone who has “been there.”
Information & Referral – We help families locate the information and services they need
Trainings – Workshop sessions are available on Understanding Medicaid Service Coordination, Record Keeping and Using a Health Care Notebook, and various other topics.

This Halloween, remember: the way we feel can be just as spooky, silly, or surprising as the costumes we wear. 👻

Whether you’re feeling 😄 joyful, 💪 strong, 🫣 vulnerable, 🥳 celebratory, or 🫤 unsure — every feeling (and every family) deserves to be seen and supported. 💜

At Parent to Parent of NYS, we know every family’s celebration looks a little different — and that’s what makes it special.

When days feel like a 🌞 or a 🌧️, know that you’re never alone.
