Resources for Special Needs

Child Care Connection provides referrals for children with special needs and offers training to the provider community on the inclusion of children with special needs. In New Jersey, the advocacy organization for the parents of children with special needs is the Statewide Parent Advocacy Network (SPAN). For more information, visit the SPAN Parent Advocacy Network. In addition, here are some other organizations that could offer support or guidance to families of children with special needs: Mercer County Family Support Organization, and the Encouraging Kids Family Resource Center.
