PUEDO is a support group for Spanish-speaking parents/ caregivers with children with special needs. This support group provides an opportunity for parents to meet informally to decrease feelings of isolation and to connect with other parents of children with disabilities who speak the same language and share the same culture.

The PUEDO meeting days for Fall 2007 through Spring 2008 are September 22, October 20, November 17, January 19, February 9, March 22, April 26, and May 17.  More details about upcoming meetings will be posted on the website as plans are made.  At this time please contact Maria Aviña or see the event listings in the upper right for more information.

You will have the opportunity to meet other parents who have empathy and experience and have "been there". It is also helpful to connect with other parents of children with disabilities to share ideas, experiences, and information. New families and caregivers are always welcome.

Joining a support group can be a helpful way to learn from other parents about resources in the community also. Those who wish to share or simply listen are invited to attend. PHP provides advocacy skills to ensure and protect the rights of your child and to build your own confidence and aid in your ability to participate in obtaining appropriate supports and services for your child.

Should you need immediate assistance or a parent-to-parent contact please phone PHP's office at (408) 727-5775. PHP provides a forum for parents and professionals to get information. PHP does not promote or recommend any treatment, therapy, institution or professional.
