Your child’s therapist may suggest resources that are specific to your child’s diagnosis and treatment plan. In addition, our team put together a list of resources that may be helpful for parents and caregivers of children who have a variety of developmental disabilities and/or mental health challenges.

We appreciate your support and hope you will find these resources helpful. Please feel free to let us know if you’ve found other sources of information and inspiration that you’d like us to add to this list!
