What members are saying

 The meetup is a great opportunity to share experiences with other parents and hear helpful feedback from seasoned special education providers. 

 Opportunity to come away with new insight and resources. Having a learning disabled child can be very isolating. Connecting with other parents who have shared experiences is very empowering.
