CA Parent Association

Along with the joys and happiness of raising a son or daughter, having a child with learning differences and unique sensitivities can be an isolating experience at times. Many families report that one of their favorite things about CA is the life-long friendships they have built with other families. The CA Parent Association plans monthly meetings and frequent social events to provide opportunities to welcome new CA families and strengthen the bonds between all CA parents. You will be sure to find people in the CA Parent Association who simply “get” what you’re going through.

Every parent at CA is a member of our Parent Association. The CA Parent Association utilizes its membership dues to help offset the costs of field trips, parent welcome/open house events, and Staff Appreciation gifts.
