Parent to Parent of New York State

Parent to Parent of New York State is a nonprofit organization that connects and supports families of children and individuals with disabilities or special health care needs.

One of its most popular services is the Parent Matching Program, which connects parents one-on-one with a trained Support Parent who has experience raising a child with similar needs. Talking with someone who has been through a similar journey can provide encouragement, understanding, and helpful information.

Parent to Parent also offers family support, educational resources, training, workshops, and referrals to community services to help families make informed decisions and feel connected along the way.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)- “Learn the Signs. Act Early.” Campaign

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has developed a program called “Learn the Signs. Act Early.” This program improves early identification of children with developmental delays and disabilities by promoting parent-engaged developmental monitoring and facilitating early action on concerns. This initiative encourages parents and providers to learn the signs of healthy development, monitor every child’s early development, and take action when there is a concern. The program offers free checklists and other tools to make developmental monitoring practical and easy.

Among the tools this program offers are free developmental checklists, a Milestone Tracker App, a milestone moments booklet, free children’s books, tips sheets, training resources and customizable promotional materials, to name a few. You may find more information and explore these and other free resources offered through this program, by visiting: https://www.cdc.gov/act-early/
