Creating Success for Your Child with a Disability

from Life Happens · host Kim Hegwood

Having a child with special needs is a challenge. Making sure to advocate to help them get the best education and care is important. But often parents do not know where to begin. Kim Hegwood is delighted today to be joined by Mary Jane Williams, executive director of Family to Family Network, a parent organization in the Greater Houston area. Kim will ask Mary Jane the following: What is Family to Family Network? What are your primary services? How do families get services for their children with disabilities from the school district? Are there other services they need to be aware of? How can families create success for their children? Do you have any specific training events coming up that will help families? Mary Jane Williams is Executive Director of Family to Family Network, a parent organization in the Houston area. Mary Jane believes children’s futures should not be dictated by a disability label and family knowledge is the key to ensuring successful outcomes for their children which lead to the creation of https://www.texasprojectfirst.org website providing accurate & consistent information on the special education process. Her wealth of knowledge comes from supporting her two children to become successful adults.
