Advocacy and Learning Resources
Do I need to know how to advocate for myself and my child?
- Utilizing advocacy and learning resources allows you to become independent as a primary caregiver. Because of that knowledge, you will know how to handle any barriers you come across.
Note:
*We want to provide you with a comprehensive list of advocacy and learning resources. The more tools you have as a primary care giver the better experience your child will have.
We in no way are affiliating ourselves with these organizations or their actions. We cannot guarantee that they will be a fit for your needs as every situation is different. To work with these organizations you will have to contact them individually.
For more information call our intake line.
We provide special needs advocacy, consulting, and advisory services for parents and guardians in the greater St. Louis area.
