parent outreach
activities
 For
over fifty years, since the Council On Developmental
Disabilities
was created by a group of concerned parents, Parent
Outreach activities have been a core part of the Council!
About 25 years ago on a more formal basis, the Parent
Outreach program was established because parents realized
the tremendous benefits they gained through their interactions
with one another. Since that time the Council has provided
a staff person who works with the Parent Outreach Committee
to develop ways to facilitate ongoing friendships between
parents of infants, children, and adult children with
mental retardation.
Planning
for the Future of Our
Sons & Daughters Who
are Disabled

Through the
Parent Outreach Program, the Council on
Developmental Disabilities
is offering a
series on planning for the the future for families,
advocates, and friends of children/adults with
disabilities. The council knows as you that
this is not an easy challenge you face. Our
hope is that coming together with other families and
knowledgeable professionals, you will be able to
remove one by one the barriers you encounter.
Over the
last five years, hundreds of families have been helped
through this series of workshops planned by the Council on
Developmental Disabilities. Each speaker is an expert in their
field, and willing to go the extra mile to help families
with their concerns. We know that there are many more
families that need to hear and act on this timely
information.
If you
have not attended, make up your mind to do so! The
effort made is absolutely worth the knowledge gained.
Share this valuable information with other families,
teachers, adult program staff, and advocates in our
community.
Please
