• To connect Maryland families who are raising children or supporting adults with developmental disabilities with other families, information, and resources.
• To conduct outreach efforts, especially to those who have been traditionally underserved, and to honor the diversity and culture of all families.
• To empower families! The more you know, the more you are able to take charge and make informed decisions for yourself, your child , your family or for a person to whom you are providing support.

On this site you will find a wide array of information and links to essential resources and supports, a photo gallery to showcase family accomplishments, a focus on family section, a discussion area that will bring people together to explore shared issues and concerns, and an events calendar where users are welcome to post upcoming meetings, conferences, support groups, rallies, recreation, etc. throughout Maryland.

When you link to a page you will find a brief description of what you can expect to find on that page. The information on this site was selected because of it's potential to empower, and the adherence to the values of community inclusion, interdependence of family, friends, and natural supports, and the inherent abilities and value of each person regardless of their perceived level of disability.

Share your resources and get connected! This is what Family NET Works is all about!
