Center for Family Leadership

We Are Here for You.

Being a parent of a child with disabilities can sometimes be a challenging and lonely experience, but the Center for Family Leadership can help. Generously funded by the Harriet P. Irsay Endowment Fund, the Center for Family Leadership connects families so we can support each another, trade strategies, share coping techniques & connect through common experiences.

Throughout the year, we offer free educational forums and events that help families meet the challenges of daily life so their children are empowered to achieve their dreams.

You Are Not Alone.

The Center for Family Leadership was designed by parents to share information, hope and resources. Most important, we inspire from each other to:

• Express our thoughts & feelings
• Share our triumphs & challenges
• Develop solutions that work for our individual situations
• Make informed choices
• Successfully navigate life’s many transitions
• Learn about our rights as parents & advocates
• Become involved in the community

Some of our past educational forums include:

• Supported Decision Making
• Adolescence — Helping You & Your Child Survive Puberty
• Assistive Technology Training
• Back to School Stress Management Tips
