Family To Family Network
October 26, 2010
After being pulled from public school and home schooled for several years. my son with autism was ready to integrate with the world again. F2F helped me with critical information about our rights, state and district policy and law in order to get him correctly and happily integrated into 12th grade, credits in check to graduate, and into the work based learning program he needed. They helped him with self advocacy training. They helped me with the IEP/ARD process.
They have continued to help our family with important information about relevant issues we continually have to deal with, like Social Security, Gaurdianship, Medicaid Waiver programs and State Agencies.
Because of the personal stakes they have in the outcome of their own children with disabilities, they are constantly tuned into the issues that will affect my childs outcome. I know I can trust the information they provide to us without worry of another agenda.
They are an invaluable resource for empathetic and knowledgeable information and help.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
Outcome planning for my adult child with autism, and with successful integration into the public school system. He is happy, we are happy and the school is happy. That's huge.
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Make it larger with direct offices at the school district and state agencies level.
MY ROLE:
Client Served & I re-enrolled my home schooled child with autism into public school.

Family to Family Network has always been available,ready and beyond that, pro active in delivering helpful and often crucial information in our community to parents and families of children with special needs. They are personally invested and therefore understand the emotional, physical and financial stakes the people they serve have to deal with everyday. I have called them for information or advise on several occasions, and even when they didn't have the answers themselves they never set the phone down without specific names, phone numbers or suggestions on who to call next or where to look.
