FACT Oregon is a great resource for supporting families with a child with disabilities. They offer a peer-to-peer support line that parents can call for support and further information on navigating various processes, from a recent diagnosis to special education to transitioning to adulthood.
They also offer regional summits, training and events, webinars on relevant topics, as well as excellent templates to help families prepare for important meetings.
