Program
Communities Can! is a network of communities committed to making sure that all children and families (including those with or at risk for disabilities) have the services and supports they need to develop, flourish and be valued members of the community and that those services are family-centered and culturally competent. Communities Can! members make it the business of the whole community--not the worry of individual families--to find, provide, organize and fund services needed by children and families.
