Parent to Parent of NYS

A statewide organization providing a place where families of individuals with special needs & professionals who serve them can meet and share information.

Parent to Parent of NYS is a place where families of individuals with special needs and the professionals who serve them can meet and share information. We've walked the walk and are here to help other families:
Support – We offer parents/caregivers the opportunity to connect one-to-one with a parent/caregiver of an individual with the same or similar disability or special health care need – someone who has “been there.”
Information & Referral – We help families locate the information and services they need
Trainings – Workshop sessions are available on Understanding Medicaid Service Coordination, Record Keeping and Using a Health Care Notebook, and various other topics.
