Mission
The CT Parents with Differing Cognitive Abilities Workgroup is a state-wide partnership among public and private agencies and families, led by the Department of Children and Families. We believe that parents of all abilities deserve the opportunity to be treated with respect and dignity and we promote systems change and enhance the capacity of professionals to serve parents of all abilities through training and advocacy.
Vision
Connecticut will have a system that recognizes that many families are headed by a parent with differing abilities who will need varying degrees of supportive services throughout their lives. The system will be family focused, flexible and culturally competent.
