Parent to Parent of Wisconsin

Having a child with special needs is often a life altering experience...

...but with the support of another parent we begin to see through the cracks and find joy in places we never could have imagined. Our journey continues, but this time we feel that we will survive because we know another parent who has.

...connecting with and getting support from other parents has been like coming home, a place where people "get it".
