Family Engagement Picnic
Our Family Engagement Picnic is an annual event provided for families being supported by our organization and typically takes place in February. Parents come together for a great day of fun and relaxation to network and share stories with other parents who have children with disabilities. This annual picnic allows children to play together in a safe and nurturing environment where everyone’s “abilities” are celebrated.
Community agencies and sponsor partners are invited to join the fun and help provide community resources to help parents get the information they need to thrive. Interested in joining our event? Please contact us for more information.

Did you know March is Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month?
A developmental disability is a lifelong condition that can affect learning, language, mobility, or independent living.
Developmental disabilities include conditions like:
🔹 Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
🔹 Cerebral Palsy
🔹 Down Syndrome
🔹 Intellectual Disabilities
🔹 Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD)
These conditions may impact cognitive, physical, and social development and occur in every community, affecting millions of people worldwide often requiring tailored support and care.
While every individual’s needs are unique, one thing remains constant—the importance of awareness, acceptance, and inclusion. Let`s work together to champion inclusivity and acceptance
Let`s build up our communication skills!
Strong communication skills are vital when advocating either for yourself or for others. Join us on tomorrow March 12th from 6-7:30pm where we`ll review the foundation of good communication, different styles and how to navigate difficult conversations.
This workshop is great for youth, parents and the professionals advocating for others.
