My Nonprofit Reviews

"It takes one to know one."
When that statement was tossed around the playground in my grammar school MANY years ago, it was certainly neither a positive nor complimentary retort. With SPED*NET Wilton, however, it's a descriptor that speaks directly to reasons that this organization serves its vital role in the community so successfully.
What better genesis of an organization designed to be a resource for parents of kids with special needs than... a group of parents of kids with special needs? That's especially true when these parents are bright, resourceful and dogged in their quest to provide the best possible educational, social and family programming for their children. More than two decades ago, co-founders Eve Kessler and Carol Kennedy realized that they had much to learn about navigating the circuitous path to getting their children the help they needed in school. And throughout these past decades, they've shared what they've learned with the Fairfield County community and beyond. Via providing workshops, speaker series, webinars and person-to-person consultation, SPED*NET Wilton has been an invaluable resource for parents and professionals seeking to better understand, better serve and better support kids with special needs.
The very best non-profits provide exceptional services with a broad range of resources to underserved communities. SPED*NET Wilton is such a non-profit. Professionals in the field of Special Education utilize SPED*NET Wilton's array of presentations. Parents rely on the group for guidance and advocacy. And children with special needs reap the benefits all the services they provide, and better positioned to achieve the best outcomes they can.
