Serving CUSD families with children who have special needs, ages birth through 22.
The CUSD Family Resource Center believes that support services for children should be family focused. We believe that informed and loving parents, grandparents and foster parents are effective advocates and the best care managers for children with special needs. Most families have had no previous training for this challenge. Therefore, parents must have access to information, support and the experience of other parents. We also believe that it is important to have a trusting relationship with the professionals serving our children. Our partnership with Clovis Unified School District fosters a collaborative spirit and a sense of identity within our school community.
