Parent Resources

We understand how hard it can be to find quality resources as a parent, especially when your child needs additional supports. To aid in this process, we have compiled a list of local and state-based resources as recommended by our client’s families based on experience. Although we have listed the locations closest to Jacksonville for each resource, please also check websites as most resources also serve surrounding areas across North Carolina.
