We recognize the importance of participating in meaningful activities for your child and programs that provide supportive resources to other family members. So we’ve compiled a growing list of community resources to help support your child get involved in activities in the Billings and Butte communities.
““The biggest risk of not including a child with disabilities is that we limit everyone’s potential as human beings””
