Families with shared experiences are uniquely qualified to help each other, offering support, guidance and encouragement. Because of this, all of our programs and services are family centered and based on the concept of parent-to-parent support. Whether you’re just beginning your journey or have a question along the way, we offer a variety of services and resources that can help.
This year, we will be celebrating Buddy Walk in an all new virtual format! While we would prefer to celebrate with you in person, we are excited to offer families and sponsors new ways to support each other and the Buddy Walk 2020 event!
Family Connection of South Carolina has a long history of providing parent-to-parent support to families of children with disabilities or special healthcare needs. Each year, hundreds of families in our state are connected with veteran "mentor" parents who have walked a similar journey.
Need help navigating the system of medical care and insurance coverage for those with disabilities or special health care needs? Our healthcare team can help you with questions related to private insurance, Medicaid, TEFRA, appeals, waivers and managed care information. We can provide applications and support in person or over the phone.
The education process is as unique as your child. As the state’s Parent Training and Information Center (PTI), Family Connection’s goal is to provide accurate and relevant information to increase the knowledge and skills of parents, young adults and professionals.
Our focus is ensuring that families and individuals with disabilities or special healthcare needs have the support, knowledge and skills they need to advocate for themselves. The hope and goal is that every individual will be able to reach their full potential.
