Family Resources & Support Centers
As parents, particularly first timers, there is always the apprehension of “when, what, how, & why”. Questions that go beyond the baby-book-guides and advise of friends and family. It is at this time that an outreach resource center can facilitate your role of care-giver. These centers can empower you with expert advise, direction and skills from how-to-introduce solids to how-to-monitor your child’s development. They are also excellent source for referral services for children with special needs and their families.
