Welcome to
the Seaway Valley Office of Parent to Parent of NYS -- a place where
families of individuals with special needs, and the professionals who
support them, can meet and share information.
Because
Parent to Parent of NYS believes in the power of parents helping each
other, it is our hope that the information we share here will flow both
ways. If you belong to a group or association that has information
of local interest to families in our community, please let us know and we
will pass on the word. Our goal is to provide you with connections,
tools and resources to support you in your role.
“Many
parents know the challenges and joys of raising a child with a disability,
but we often can’t find each other. Or we assume that everybody else
knows what they’re doing, and we are the only ones who are confused and
hurt and lonely. Parent to Parent groups help us connect to each other in
new ways. Sharing our experience makes us strong. Together we will bring
our children and our families out of the shadows.”
- Sue Swenson, Commissioner,
Administration on Developmental Disabilities, U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services
