We believe that professionals are important allies for families. The shared wisdom, counsel, respect and supportcreates enhanced positive outcomes for children.

We value diversity and celebrate our commitment to serving families in many forms.

We believe in supporting the role of the family in establishingpublic policy, and promoting public awareness related tofamilies and disabilities.

We believe that parents who model effective self-advocacyencourage a child’s pursuit of his or her own dreams.


“Thank you again for taking

the time to help me go

through the proper proce-

dures to do what is right for

my daughter’s education.

It truly means a lot to me to

have someone in my corner

willing to listen and to help.”


Letter from thePresident of the Board

Families deserve noth-ing less than a chanceto help their childrenreach their full potential.Yet parents of childrenwith disabilities and spe-cial health care needsstill struggle to findaccurate information,guidance, and the helpthey need to ensuretheir children have theopportunity to thrive.

The needs of families are varied and complex.Our vision is to empower families to meet chal-lenges and build strong communities while help-ing to preserve each family’s connection to theircultural values. We believe strategic parent edu-cation supports family members in their uniquerole as their child's first and most importantteachers. We believe families are best equippedto advocate for the rights of all children to par-ticipate in opportunities for success.

While families, state agencies, providers and ourorganization continue to navigate through a dif-ficult economic period, we are buoyed by theinvaluable support and guidance generatedthrough parent to parent connections. Theresilience and determination demonstrated byfamilies we meet every day continue tostrengthen our commitment to expand outreachand develop new programs for new familieswho need us.

We envision Raising Special Kids as the stewardof a vital lifeline of support for families. Thank youto the dedicated board members, ParentLeaders, staff, sponsors, and community partnerswho have been instrumental in building andmaintaining this lifeline. As we continue to workto empower families, I am reminded of the wis-dom of Margaret Mead: “There is no greaterinsight into the future than recognizing thatwhen we save our children, we save ourselves.”

information, training, andindividual assistance.


“I’m so grateful to learn

that Raising Special Kids is

truly here to offer support.

There is no catch, no

gimmick, and no charge.

I have found emotional

support from people who

understand what it is like

to have a child with

special needs.”


Developing Parent Leaders

Most families are not prepared with the skillsand knowledge to address the unique chal-lenges of raising a child with a disability. Eachstep of a child’s development reveals theneed for new creative solutions which aremade more complex by the presence ofextraordinary health or ability issues unfamiliarto the family or their support network. Bringingfamilies new to these challenges togetherwith experienced parents who can share theirknowledge has proven to help provide chil-dren with the environment and support theyneed to fully develop their potential. The staffand trained volunteers of Raising Special Kidsare family members with experience raising achild with a disability.

“After speaking with you, I knew your sup-

port was going to be very helpful. You vali-

dated my concerns and really helped me

plan for our upcoming team meeting. Your

knowledge of effective communication

really helped me communicate with the

school staff. My daughter is now back in

school, and I have to say the communica-

tion with teachers has never been better!”

2011Supporting Professionals

Family and CommunityMedicineThrough the Family and CommunityMedicine Program, pediatric physiciansin residency complete an orientationwith Raising Special Kids staff followedby a home visit with Family Faculty—trained volunteer parents—for a first-hand look at the challenging role ofraising a child with special needs.

Parent Panels Trained Parent Leaders present directlyto students in education, health andsocial services. Their perspective onthe challenges of raising a child withspecial needs adds fresh insight totraining programs and helps preparefuture professionals to provide family

friendly services.

Acquiring an understanding of the challengesfamilies living with disability face each dayhelps professionals in health, education, childcare and social services provide more effec-tive services to children and their families. Theinsight professionals gain from informed par-ent leaders results in improved care, bettersystems management and more positive out-comes for individuals with disabilities and thecommunities in which they live.

78 pediatric and familypractice physicians fromsix hospitals and medical

centers completed training and home visits.

93% of education profes-sionals reported being

better prepared to workwith families

training program.


“Your presentation really opened my

eyes to the difficulties of raising a child

with special needs and even how

special it can be, like cherishing the

small moments of life that we so often

take for granted. After listening to the

three moms speak, I know how impor-

tant it will be, when I start my career, to

gain each one of my families’ respect

and trust in order to treat their child.”

Who We Serve

Many parents find the system under whichspecial education operates to be over-whelming. Some families have seen theirchild exiting high school before they fullyunderstood the complexities of qualifying forspecial education services, developingIndividual Education Programs (IEPs), andthe availability of assistive technology.

Raising Special Kids has helped thousands ofparents understand their rights and how thesystem works so they can advocate effec-tively for what their child needs to receive a“Free and Appropriate Public Education”(FAPE) as guaranteed by law.

The U.S. Dept. of Education awarded RaisingSpecial Kids a 5-year federal grant to serve

as Arizona’s Parent Training and InformationCenter. Parent centers in each state providetraining and information to families of infants,toddlers, school-aged children, and youngadults with disabilities and the professionalswho work with them. This assistance helpsparents participate more effectively withprofessionals in meeting the educationalneeds of children and youth with disabilities.

The Lawyers did not knowwhat to do about their son’sdifficulties at school. Theyknew Chris was smart, buteach day the conflicts weregetting worse and their rela-tionship with the school wasbecoming adversarial.

The worst part was “Chriswas not getting the help heneeded,” explained hismother, Tory. After an evalu-ation revealed that Chriswas struggling withAspergers and ADHD, adoctor referred Tory toRaising Special Kids for helpin getting an appropriateeducation program in placefor her son.

“It was kind of miraculous.When I looked at the web-site, I noticed that theSpecial Day for Special Kidsevent was coming up at therailroad park—and trains areChris’ thing,” said Tory. Whenher family attended theevent, Tory was introducedto a system of supports thathelped her change their life.

“With Raising Special Kids’help I was able to educatemyself. I began to under-stand Chris’ rights, and that itis important to maintain agood relationship with theschool.” She was connectedwith a volunteer through theParent to Parent program. “Itwas so helpful to talk tosomebody who understoodwhere I was coming from.”

Tory learned how to useeffective advocacy tech-niques and was able to workwith the school in develop-ing an individualized learningprogram for Chris. Schoolhas since become a positiveexperience for Chris—and his family.
