Special Needs Guide for Long Island Families
Finding the right resources can be overwhelming for any family, but it can be especially challenging for parents of children with special needs. We hope our Special Needs Guide makes your life a little easier by helping you navigate what's out there for Long Island families.
Our special needs posts—many written by local moms who have children on the autism spectrum, or with ADHD or sensory issues—include info on playgroups, programs, camps and sensory gyms, plus awesome apps and toy stores that cater to children with challenges.
