Parent to Parent provides emotional support and information to families of children and adults with special needs in Washington State. Parents may have questions and concerns regarding their child’s needs and their own feelings. Local county coordinators organize parent volunteers (Helping Parents) who also have children with special needs and are available to provide support and information. Personal support from another parent, who has a child with similar needs, can be very helpful.
