What Does a Peer Supporter Do?
Occasionally, a Referred Parent may ask the volunteer Peer Supporter to talk about issues that should be handled by professionals. If this occurs, please call your local Regional Coordinator or call the state office at 717-540-4722.
“I became a Peer Supporter because I know what it is like to have a child with a special need. I found it helpful to talk to another parent. I wanted to share that experience with others. I don’t necessarily solve a family’s problems, but I listen and share my own experiences.”
