The family voice

Do you want your voice to be heard?

This is a place to share your thoughts on issues related to raising a child with a disability or special health needs with us. Comments may be published on this site or in printed materials.

Please send your comments to info@raisingspecialkids.org and include "My Voice" in the subject line. It would be great (but not required) if you include your name and phone in case we have a question.

Raising Special Kids does not speak for parents, but seeks to inform and raise awareness about the common concerns and issues that affect the lives of families raising children with disabilities in Arizona. 

Sometimes parents need to speak as one voice, and sometimes we need to reflect our unique and individual experiences.
 
Your voice is important.  

We welcome your comments and input on some of the important issues facing parents of children with special health needs.  If we have significant input on a single topic we’ll share those concerns with decision-makers in our state.  If you need a response back from us, be sure to mention that in your message.

Here are some topics of current interest to families in Arizona.

• Early Intervention services (birth to three) and AZEIP Re-design
• Day Treatment Programs for teens and adults with developmental disabilities
• Advocacy and the Complaint Process in Special Education 
• Eligibility and access to state programs and services
