PARENTS
Welcome to our Parents page. Chances are, when you first became a parent, you also realized how much your life changed. And all without an instruction manual! No matter how much you had read, heard or experienced, nothing can truly prepare you for the irreversible transformation that parenthood brings. And should you be a parent who discovers their child has a significant challenge, again, no one who has not been in your situation can even begin to truly understand what that means. And that is why this page has been designed; to help you along your path without having to re-invent the wheel.
Tips and insights, special deals or discounts, and anything else we have found that may help you navigate to a successful outcome for your family have been included here. And please, if you have come across something helpful, email us so we can pass that information on as well, thank you!
