Northern Virginia Family Service
Caring for special needs children can be emotionally and physically draining for foster, adoptive or biological parents. Such children have behavioral, physical and/or emotional problems that often require intensive care. Among other family services, Northern Virginia Family Service offers therapeutic respite care that pairs children having special needs with a specially trained family for regular visits. Simultaneously, the visits allow the parents of the child to recuperate from the physical and emotional demands that come from raising a special needs child and to develop skills that are important in caring for children with special needs.
Parent Educational Advocacy Training Center
Parenting a child with a disability means you may need to be an expert at managing educational, medical and social services for your child. Being your child’s advocate in these areas can be a challenge.
