PIC's services are available to parents of children, age birth to 21, with any type of disability or chronic health need. Because of the large areas and sparse population of Wyoming, there are generally not enough people in any one community to sustain a special interest group of families dealing with one particular disability. The support, activities and workshops sponsored by PIC are for all families and children who are facing the challenges of any kind of disability or chronic illness. We become as well informed as possible about the law, education, medicine, human services, rehabilitation and technology so that the parents and professionals to whom we provide information, referral and support have access to the best information available. We share information and support with each other and parents who are faced with disabilities and chronic illnesses so that together we can make a difference for our children.
Parents are the most valuable resource for their children.
All schools, workplaces and communities should be inclusive to the fullest extent possible. Parents must have support and information so they can participate in making decisions about their child's educational program. Parents' most important tools in dealing with educators, administrators and other professionals are communication and collaboration. Persons with disabilities must have access to the education and technology necessary to participate fully in community life. Services must be individualized to meet the unique needs of each child and family.
