We provide a place where families of children with special needs can receive parent-to-parent counseling on special education issues and concerns. Families are welcome to visit and preview materials from the lending library, which has many books, videotapes, and periodicals related to disability. The staff can connect parents to resources and support groups and also help with online research.
