There are a number of complex health, education, and emotional issues for families when caring for a child with special needs. As a professional, you may not always have the time or expertise (in a field outside your own) to provide that support to a family. Stone Soup Group is here to help bridge that gap.
We are happy to assist a family directly by providing Parent Navigation services, DDRC Navigation services or delivering a training to a group of professionals. Contact us if you would like to customize a training to meet your specific needs.
We work with medical professionals, schools, social service providers and policy makers to collaboratively help families achieve the best outcomes for everyone involved. You may refer a family online to us, or we may refer a family to you!
