Parent to Parent of NYS A statewide organization providing a place where families of individuals with special needs & professionals who serve them can meet and share information.

Parent to Parent of NYS is a place where families of individuals with special needs and the professionals who serve them can meet and share information. We've walked the walk and are here to help other families:
Support – We offer parents/caregivers the opportunity to connect one-to-one with a parent/caregiver of an individual with the same or similar disability or special health care need – someone who has “been there.”
Information & Referral – We help families locate the information and services they need
Trainings – Workshop sessions are available on Understanding Medicaid Service Coordination, Record Keeping and Using a Health Care Notebook, and various other topics.

Is Guardianship the Only Option? ⚖️🤔 🤔

Let’s face it—nothing keeps parents up at night more than thinking about who will care for our child/children when we are no longer able to care for them. 🌙💭

This essential workshop will increase the knowledge of families of individuals with disabilities about the options besides legal guardianship for adults with disabilities. 🧩💡 If your adult child does not need full guardianship, there are other incredible options that we will explore together in this presentation! 🤝🌟
