Welcome to Profectum’s resource page for parents and caregivers. Profectum’s founders and faculty members collectively have several hundred years of experience working with many thousands of individuals with special needs (and their parents and families). We understand the angst everyone goes through at the initial diagnosis, when the individual hits roadblocks after periods of tremendous progress, when the individual reaches new stages in life that require new approaches, etc. Consequently, we understand the need for support and information specific to parents, caregivers and family members. We share professional resources, feature articles, review intervention options and will help you identify Profectum-trained service providers.
