Kinera Connect & Kinera Cares

Kinera Connect provides an opportunity for parents of children with disabilities and special health care needs to come together in a supportive setting to:

• gain information for assisting their children and family
• further educate themselves on aspects of disabilities and special needs areas
• gain a support network with like-minded people
• and share ideas from family to family.​

Kinera Cares is now on a monthly meeting schedule at 7pm for parents to connect, discuss specific concerns and topics, and socialize.
