Online Giving
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.

The special needs of our children are all different and many needs are unique to the disabilities population. For some individuals with disabilities personal care needs do not end in childhood. Families should not have to struggle to find a clean, private and respectful space to provide care.
That’s why it was such a great day with Erick Ramos from ValenEveryday as we heard from parents who experience this daily need and heard their feedback on a portable changing table prototype being developed by Valen.
