Information & Referal:
Focus on the My Child Without Limits Support Community

Have you visited the My Child Without Limits Social Networking Community yet? The community is going strong and to date has over 168 members. Additionally, a few UCP staff from UCP Affiliates have joined as well and provide information and advice to familes of young children with special needs. I encourage all UCP Affiliate Information and Referral staff (and all staff, in general) to sign up and participate. It is a great way to help parents and caregivers and let them know about the wide array of services that UCP Affiliates provide.

Discussion topics include:

  • Getting started
  • Treatment and therapies
  • Learning and playing
  • Help for you and your child's life
  • Building a support team
  • Funding your child's care
  • Advocacy for your child

You can start or reply to a discussion topic, create a journal, or even post a video. The possible topics that you can engage in and exchange ideas about are "without limits." Hope to see there soon.

For more information on how to access and participate in the My Child Without Limits Social Networking Community, please contact Lara Terrell at (202) 973-7105.
