Development milestones are important clues about how your child develops physically, cognitively, and socially. Every child learns and grows at their own pace. We can help with screening and provide resources as your child begins their journey. Visit: familyconnectionsc.org/journey-begins/

An Individualized Education Program includes accommodations or modifications. Accommodations are changes in HOW the student is taught (extra time on tests, assignments). Modifications are changes in WHAT the student is taught (alternative assignments). Questions? Contact us!

Holiday decorations, travel, and stress can all present challenges for people with allergies and asthma. Here's a tip: Don't feel obligated to visit homes with known allergens and irritants.

Our year-end giving campaign goal is to raise critically-needed funds to fulfill the requests from parents who need help for their children in school. Invest in the future of students like Nicholas, Zeron, Lila, and Grayson! tiny.cc/fcsc-giving
