Challenged

Supporting children with special needs and their families since 1992.

Families helping families

You don't have to do this alone

Founded by a group of mothers who have children with special needs, we deeply understand the joy, grief and challenges that come with it. We are your soft place to fall, here to help you with your questions and provide additional resources when we don’t have the answers.

Need something you can jump into when you have time? We plan events throughout the year for families to connect, and for kids to be kids. See what we have planned!

Support

Parent-to-parent support is at the core of what we do. We're a team of parents and individuals with family members who have disabilities, so we can provide empathetic and effective support.

Services

We offer support groups, home visits, phone support and referrals to agencies, and we’re here to help you navigate your child's journey. We’re more than just a resource center—we’re family.

Empowering Families

We're committed to education and empowerment, offering IEP (Individualized Education Program) trainings to help you advocate for your child's needs, Early Start support for new parents, and engaging community presentations to promote disability awareness and inclusion.
​
Whether you're looking for a Down syndrome Support Group, Autism Support Group, or Medically Involved Support Group, you'll find a welcoming community with us. Our services extend beyond support groups, offering home visits and phone support, and providing referrals to various agencies to ensure you're connected to the right resources.
