Review for Family to Family Network, Houston, TX, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I love F2F Network! The Parent Liaisons helped me to learn the law and correct approaches to an ARD. They gave me the tools to present my case for inclusion which allowed my daughter with Down syndrome to attend her neighborhood school rather than be segregated at a different campus. Now, I am helping others due to the training I received. I also participate in a great program called "Family Friends" which paired a volunteer with my family. This volunteer has befriended the family and comes to play with my daughter with Down syndrome. She's like an adopted grandmother and has been quite a blessing.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

conferences they have sponsored. Speakers have trained me to be my child's advocate.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

have socials for parents!

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

advocay training.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

nice and knowledgable.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

have a job training program & facility.

Ways to make it better...

they had a playroom for kids at their office.

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

budget and letting families know they are there.

One thing I'd also say is that...

I love the group and their staff & volunteers are very dedicated.

How frequently have you been involved with the organization?

About every month
