If you live in Utah, and you have a child or a family member with a physical, mental, or developmental disability, then the Utah Family Voices website welcomes you. Utah Family voices is all about supporting families of the disabled, and is run by parents of special needs children. If you’re here because your child was just recently diagnosed with a chronic health issue, or if you’ve been living with disabilities for a long time, you’ll find answers to many questions. What is the condition my child has? What does it mean for our family? What are the resources and government programs we can tap into to help provide care? The American With Disability Act of 1990 provides for many services and options. How can we find out about them? Do we need to contact a disability lawyer? What about accessibility and disability equipment? We care about your struggles. We’re parents, and we’ve been through similar things, too. We know how overwhelming and challenging it is to raise a special needs child Why re-invent the wheel? Many of us have found ways to work through the red tape, and can offer lots of help. For funding, ssi disability paperwork, and health insurance questions, or accessibility equipment, there are many with experience. In addition to the practical advice, there’s lots of friendly support to help get through the tough times.
While this site is being recreated please go to www.medhomeportal.org for information and resources for children and youth with special health care needs and disabilities.
