Staff around state making a difference for families
Parent to Parent of Vermont is dedicated to serving all Vermont
families with children with special needs. One of the most significant
challenges we face in this is geography. Even in a state as small
as ours, we must work hard to provide programs and services that are
accessible to families where they live. Our Regional Family Resource Coordinators help us do that by answering questions, providing support, and helping families access needed resources.
In the spring of 2004, Parent to Parent of Vermont hired a new Regional
Family Resource Coordinator based out of Newport in the Northeast
Kingdom. Paula Manzi has many years experience working with
families with children with special needs and has lived in the Newport
area for over 16 years. Since Paula became the Regional Family
Resource Coordinator, we have welcomed many new families from that area
into our network and have opened the door to reveal how truly great the
need is.
Parent to Parent of Vermont currently maintains staff in St. Albans,
Newport, Brattleboro and Randolph, in addition to our home office in
Williston. The importance of having a local number and familiar
face from the community for families with children with special needs
is clear.
Parent to Parent of Vermont receives regular calls from families all
over the state (including Bennington, Montpelier, Rutland, and
Morrisville, to name a few), requesting that there be a Family Resource
Coordinator in their area. Parent to Parent of Vermont continues to
work hard to make our current field positions permanent and add new
staff in other communities around the state.
