The Society of Special Needs Adoptive Parents - SNAP
Description
We believe all children, no matter what their challenges, have the right to a quality of life that allows them to be healthy and happy. And all families deserve to have access to support services that help them along the way. Our support services include a library of close to 15,000 items with up-to-date resources on many topics such as Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Learning Disabilities (LD), attachment issues and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). In fact, we have one of the largest selections of resources on FASD in Canada. These consist of science-based research materials as well as hands-on publications that deal with daily issues like bullying, respite care, difficulty fitting in at school, behavioural issues and strategies for parents on what to do if your child has experienced trauma or abuse.
SNAP has a trained province-wide Resource Parent Network that offers mutual and one-to-one support to families with challenges, a warm line, and educational workshops, conferences and seminars on special needs-related issues, such as FASD, attachment, and an introduction to special needs adoption. In addition, we run a small publishing house called Groundwork Press, which publishes timely books for families with challenges, and consult as SNAP Promotions with not-for-profits and private companies who want to deliver their messages to the right people. We offer services such as print and web production, copywriting, communications planning and re-branding.
