Mission Statement
The mission of the Coalition of Families with Special Needs is to
provide parent-directed, parent-to-parent support, education, and
information services to families who care for special needs
individuals.
Our goals are:
- To compile and maintain a list of resources available for
special needs families.
- To develop a support network for siblings of special needs
individuals.
- To work with both state and federal officials and organizations to increase
their awareness of the financial burdens placed on special needs
families.
- To work with the state officials and organizations to facilitate a quick and easy way to access resources and placements.
- To develop within the State of Maine, and specifically within
Aroostook County, an extensive network of resources and
opportunities for special needs individuals and their
families.
- To explore innovative and more effective ways to educate the
public in order to increase understanding, awareness, tolerance,
and support of special needs children and adults.
- To educate families and caregivers, enabling them to become
community leaders, advocates, and experts in the special needs
forum.
