WE CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU!

Congratulations to our Stepping Stones Institute class of 2026!  The Institute is a nine week positive parenting program designed specifically for parents of children with disabilities. The commitment our graduates have to positive parenting is inspiring, well done!

Last night we hosted our final Sibshops of the school year. We celebrated our Sibshop graduates who are moving onto high school.  Many of our graduates have been attending Sibshops since kindergarten or first grade! We are proud of these wonderful young men and women who are going to make a difference in this world! Sibshops is our sibling support program. Please reach out if you would like more information about how we support kids who have siblings with disabilities.

During our April Sibshops we talked about when things feel out of control. We shared about times when our siblings were very sick in the hospital, having difficult behaviors or when things just weren’t turning out the way we hoped. Siblings have big feelings and need somewhere to share. We also played some out of control games, ate out of control tacos, and created an out of control art project. Sibshops is our peer support program for kids K-8th grade. If you are interested in this program for your child, please call our Family Support office at 336-703-4289.

Our little friends enjoyed a beautiful spring day last week, complete with a special Easter egg hunt and classroom parties!
