Parent’s Corner
“Better Together”
We Value Your Voice and Choice
Your voice is important to us! During your child’s meetings, it is your time to talk about what services you think are best for your child. We recognize YOU are the expert on your child. You know them best!
We Believe in Equity in Action
Equality seeks to treat each person the same. It suggests everyone gets the same amount of the same thing.
Equity is based on fairness and knowing that everyone has different needs and deserves different support to live full, healthy lives.
