Our most popular programs:

EMPACT PARENTING of Infants and Young Children (IYC) – Ages 0-12 years old

IYC is an established outcomes-based, well-known and respected program that helps families cope with the medical, social and familial challenges of having a child with a special need, disability, or chronic complex medical condition. IYC helps parents learn skills to create the healthy boundaries, discipline and growth opportunities children need to become independent, self-confident, productive, and ultimately, empowered adults. This program is has a 15-hour curriculum.

EMPACT PARENTING of Teens and Young Adults (TYA) – Ages 12+ years old

Children with special needs, disabilities, and chronic complex medical conditions spend their childhood being taken care of by others. But when they begin transitioning to adulthood during their teens, they must learn to take care of themselves, and advocate for themselves. The TYA program has been developed with that goal in mind, helping parents learn how to support their teen through this tricky time, and teach the psycho-social skills their child needs to take ownership of their choices, treatment and wellbeing. This program has a 17-hour curriculum.
