"The program equipped me with adequate knowledge to help my daughter be successful in her transition to adulthood and living an independent life with an invisible disability. I did not have the skills before and I was afraid of how to go about helping her. She and I both are more comfortable now and have a solid game plan in place. We are looking forward to her success!" |
