Parents

After a child is diagnosed with a significant developmental or physical disability, parents begin a journey in a new world of medical specialists, frequent hospitalizations, and ongoing therapies.  They might worry about managing financially, about giving siblings enough attention, about the future of their child.  They need comfort, information and hope.  FOCUS provides all three!!   FOCUS offers parents support – a shoulder to cry on, an ear that understands the acronyms, a visit when a child is hospitalized; FOCUS offers information and resources in the community; we even offer specialized childcare so parents can take a break!  FOCUS helps parents realize that they are not alone – others who have ‘been there’ can help!

If you are a parent who would benefit from FOCUS please complete an parent intake and mail to [email protected].
