About Connections
Rooted in Community Focused on Families
Connections for Families Society is committed to empowering parents with cognitive disabilities, guided by the belief that every parent has the right to raise their children with confidence and care. For more than 35 years, we’ve worked alongside parents with developmental disabilities, Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), and acquired brain injuries, offering a continuum of services that meet families where they are and support their journey toward stability, independence, and resilience.

Our programs are guided by client and partner feedback, gathered through surveys, conversations, and collaborative input. We are especially proud of our Parent Advisory Council—client parents who meet quarterly to evaluate and shape programming to help design services that reflect the realities of our clients. Together, these integrated supports empower parents with cognitive disabilities to grow, succeed, and create lasting stability for their families.
