Making email connections with others, who have children with special needs,
has proven to be a very useful resource.

This group serves as a resource that connects parents with a common need to one another. We are able to offer possible solutions and resources to one another in our quest to seek the best possible solutions for the individual educational needs of our children.

We believe that such a group will serve as a powerful tool for parents locally. It is intended to be a local resource in the DuPage County area, for parents needing positive solutions to life's challenges.

For subject matter which you feel is sensitive,you might send a general question and then correspond through email individually with those who reply.

It is expected that those who use this listing are responsible in
what they choose to share with others. For example, it would not be useful
to use it for the purposes of trashing an individual's reputation.

If you have local friends who may be interested in being a part of this group, please forward this message on to them and invite them to join the
group. If they are interested, have them to send an email to yrusin@comcast.net, bspenadel@wideopenwest.com or tkapil@littlefields.org asking to be invited to join the group.

Being available to offer help to others, and having so many available to call on for help, streamlines some of the frustrating searches we all do to find services and solutions for the unique needs of our children.
