Center for Family Leadership

You Are Not Alone On This Journey.

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 with each other so they can support one another, offer coping skills and share common experiences. Through the educational forums and events we offer, our goal is to empower families to meet the challenges of daily life and help their children achieve their dreams.

We Are Here for You.

At our educational forums and events, we share information, experiences, strength, hope and resources. Most important, we learn from each other. While our March events were postponed due to COVID-19, stay tuned for new dates to be set when it is considered safe to do so.

Case History: A Noble Life.

Melissa

Melissa’s son Will had a significant speech delay that made it hard for his family to understand what he needed. But through Noble’s therapies and support, Will progressed quickly in his verbal and cognitive skills. As a parent, Melissa received the support she needed to go from a frustrated, at-her-wits-end mother to becoming a more effective parent. Noble helped her build the confidence she needed and provided the resources she could turn to for information and suggestions on how to help her entire family.

Support for parents like Melissa is made possible through the generosity of the Harriet P. Irsay Endowment Fund.
