Parent to Parent Mentoring
Our Parent 2 Parent program, launched in January 2009, provides networking and parent-to-parent mentoring to help families dealing with common challenges.
P2P is currently recruiting mentors and welcomes referrals of families looking for support.
Parent/Caregiver Meetings
SEEC holds monthly Parent/Caregiver Meetings on the fourth Tuesday of each month. Meetings are held at SEEC's Headquarters from 7:00 – 8:30 p.m. Topics address issues affecting adults with developmental disabilities. These meetings are open to the public, but do require pre-registration. Please contact Rosalind Chavis or Nancy Householder for registration and information on meetings.
Important Information Regarding Our Family Support Services:
For the past decade SEEC’s Family Support Services provided financial assistance and information referral to hundreds of Montgomery County families to ease the financial strains of raising a child with significant disabilities.Our involvement in the distribution of what was then called Rolling Access Funds was extremely rewarding. SEEC was able to help families cover the costs of assitive equipment and technologies, therapies not covered by health insurance, in-home supports, camp tuitions, and more. In the fall of 2009 the Maryland Developmental Disability Administration (DDA) changed the administration of providing funds to Marylanders who have children with significant developmental disabilities. The Rolling Access program has been changed and SEEC is no longer able to provide this service to county residents.
As an alternative to the Rolling Access funds that supported SEEC's Family Supports Services, the DDA now funds a statewide program called Low Intensity Support Services (LISS). Information regarding eligibility and application for this program is listed below: We urge families in need to apply for these resources. Remember to send your application to the address noted below, and not to SEEC.
