Washington State Fathers Network

A Powerful Voice for Fathers and Families of Children with Special Needs. We are organized in a loose collection of chapters across the state.

The Washington State Fathers Network (WSFN) is a program of Sherwood and other than Sherwood or WSFN events, information provided is not endorsed by either Sherwood or the WSFN. The Washington State Fathers Network (WSFN) connects men with other dads, resources, information and education, plus opportunities for “all family” celebrations. Focus is on assisting fathers as they become more competent

and compassionate caregivers for their children with special needs. WSFN is the only regional program in the United States and Canada fully devoted to fathers of children with special health care needs and developmental disabilities. Since 1986 it has opened new doors of hope for thousands of men and their families, providing them with support and resources to be effective, nurturing dads. In addition to the WSFN state wide programs, each chapter runs their own set of local activities and programs. You can find the contact information for the local chapters below. If you do not find a local chapter near your location please contact Louis Mendoza ([email protected]) to get the latest information on any new chapters or to discuss options for starting your own.

Music had always been a constant in my life, and I had a long-standing interest in psychology. Music therapy ended up being a natural intersection of both. I now primarily work with autistic individuals and people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs), including many adults.
