Parents Helping Parents

History

PHP was founded by two parents of children with Down syndrome who saw a need for families like themselves to network and provide mutual support. PHP has grown into a multi-service family resource center for families of children with any disability. This includes children of all ages and all backgrounds who have a need for special services due to any special need, including but not limited to illness, cancer, accidents, birth anomalies, neurological conditions, premature birth, learning, intellectual or physical disabilities, mental health issues, and attention deficit (hyperactivity) disorder, to name a few. PHP's mission is to help children and adults with special needs receive the support and services they need to reach their full potential by providing information, training and resources to build strong families and improve systems of care.
