Parent's Voices
Your journey as a parent of a child with special needs is unique, filled with challenges, victories, and invaluable lessons. The Exceptional Education department invites you to share your story, advice, or words of encouragement with other parents who may be walking a similar path. Your insight could provide hope, guidance, and a sense of community to families who need it most.
Submissions should be no more than 300 words and will be randomly selected to be featured in the ‘Parent to Parent’ section of the monthly newsletter. Together, we will build a stronger, more supportive network of parents!
