Information & Resources

South Dakota Parent Connection provides timely information on family life, health care, support, and activities to help meet these needs. Parents raising a child with a disability or special health care needs require reliable information and access to necessary services, and support. We have done the research for you so you can begin the process.

  • We have written several publications for parents, educators, and professionals to address some of the most common questions and concerns to help you on your journey.
  • We can help connect you to local, state, and national community resources.
“As first-time parents and having our only child diagnosed with high-functioning autism, we were searching for answers. South Dakota Parent Connection has educated and provided us with so much beneficial information. We love our little boy more than anything in this world and he is amazing. We appreciate the support and all the resources that South Dakota Parent Connection provides for parents like us. Thank you.”
