Kayla’s Directory

As a parent of an 8 year old daughter who has unique health and educational needs, I have spent countless hours researching services and activities for special needs children. I strongly believe that my daughter should be included in community events and participate in as many activities as her peers. While our pediatrician’s office has been amazing at helping me navigate the system, there are also a lot of services and recreational opportunities I found by networking with people in the community. Through this process I have come to realize that our challenges are not unique, that there is very little information available for families who have children with special needs, and that it is often difficult to find accessible programming, particularly after the age of 3. I started Kaylasdirectory.org to help address these challenges. Our mission is to enrich the lives of Vermont’s special needs children through greater community involvement and increased access to developmental services and recreational activities.
