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

Rating: 5 stars  

Family to Family Network has been my lifeline to accessing the support and information I need for my son with Down Syndrome. When my son was three, I attended his first ARD meeting at the school – the experience was so overwhelming, I left in tears. Soon afterwards, I found Family to Family Network and gained the tools and confidence I needed to successfully navigate the complex special education system and advocate for my child. That was 18 years ago, and I will attend his exit ARD from high school next week and prepare for graduation! I can honestly say that because of the guidance and information I received from F2F, I have been able to make informed decisions about my child’s educational programming that have enabled him to reach his potential. Today I continue to get help from F2F in figuring out his options for the future – which, thanks to all I have learned from F2F, will include living and working in the community. I know that I join so many other families who have benefitted from the free services they have received from F2F to build brighter futures for their children with disabilities.

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

This has had a tremendous impact on my entire family. Instead of worrying about our child's future, we have learned to become proactive and take advantage of all the opportunities and services available.

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

add more parent liaisons to help the many families who call the office for help on a daily basis.

Role:  Client Served & I received invaluable help with collaborating with the schools to get the best programming for my child with a disability.
