We received an email today regarding a survey for Special Needs Individuals and Families. If you would like to participate, please review the information below:

Hello,

My name is Kristy Delony and I am the senior research associate for a new research study called Raising Texas Voices. Texas needs to hear from people with disabilities and their families. Raising Texas Voices is a study funded by the Texas Council for Developmental Disabilities to explore generational differences in the hopes and priorities of people with developmental disabilities and their families. We are launching a statewide research study unlike traditional surveys, centered on your real experiences and priorities, led by the Baylor Center for Disability and Flourishing. Your voice is needed to help strengthen the programs, resources, and supports that shape the lives of the disability community across Texas. Learn more and sign up for the survey at www.raisingtexasvoices.org.

If you have suggestions for other organizations or individuals in your community, we should connect with, I would love to hear them.

Thank you again for your time and support—it truly means a lot.

Thank you,

💙 Community Kindness in Action 💙

We are so grateful to everyone who submitted nominations for our recent sensory chair giveaway. Reading your stories was both humbling and deeply meaningful. Thank you for trusting Big Country Spectrum Connection with pieces of your journeys, your families, and your hearts.

A recipient family has been selected, and the chair has officially been gifted. To protect the family’s privacy and honor their story, we will not be sharing identifying details, but we are incredibly thankful to have been part of bringing this special item into a home where it can provide comfort, support, and joy.

We also want to give a heartfelt thank you to the generous family who donated the chair and made this opportunity possible in the first place. Your kindness created a ripple effect far beyond a single gift. 🌱

One thing this experience reminded us is how many families in our community are carrying unseen challenges while doing their very best every day. The level of compassion shown through the nominations was truly powerful.
