The functioning of a family is a critical role in the development of children. If a family has a child with specific needs, it is not only important for the family to meet the needs of the child but to make sure all individuals in the family are having their needs met. When a family is positively functioning, the overall outcome for the family will be better for all family members involved. Below are a list of resources that may be needed by some families in addition to the agencies and therapies their child with specific needs may require.
