I am so excited to include a “Mom-Recommended” page on this website! My boys and I are so lucky to have had some wonderful experiences with doctors, hospitals, recreation programs, sensory-friendly activities, family social groups, and community organizations in NJ! These particular recommendations are based on the personal experiences we have had and I want to share them with you! If you are a member of the NJ Special Needs Connection group on Facebook, you know that the boys and I are very involved with the special needs community and that I love to post about our adventures! There are so MANY wonderful resources for our families in NJ! However, these recommendations below come from places that have played, and continue to play, a significant role in our lives, and I want to share their "greatness" with all of you! If you click on the logos below, you will be taken directly to the corresponding website so you could learn more.
