C o n n e ct:  News, Stories, Events and Resources Relevant to You

We are proud to introduce Connect - a newsletter designed for families of kids with special needs and the service providers who support them. In this newsletter we hope you find information that is relevant to you. We also share in person events where you can meet local families of kids with special needs. Connect is distributed monthly. If you have any feedback on the newsletter, story ideas or want to volunteer to write an article please contact Anchel Krishna, Communications Manager at [email protected].

Wishing you and your loved ones a very happy holiday season and happy new year. We're looking forward to continuing to connect with you in 2016!
