Texas Parent to Parent provides support, information and education to navigate the disabilities world.
Help families with children with disabilites plan for their child’s future, and find the strength to thrive.
Families of children
with disabilities feel very isolated after receiving a diagnosis for
their child. Many have no idea where to turn or how to find someone to
help them understand what they are facing. The doctors who provide the
diagnosis rarely have useful resources for them other than the large
disability organizations.
We have found that
just having another parent to talk with, whether one-on-one or
in-person, helps them feel that they are not alone in their journey.
Knowing that there are people going through similar journeys with their
child helps them know that they can get through whatever comes their
way. And knowing that they can reach out to Texas Parent to Parent is
comforting even if they rarely reach out - knowing someone is there is
enough. But when they need help or a shoulder to lean against, we are
there for them.
