This program guide is dedicated to my daughter Sarah.
​
My family began looking for programs for our daughter since she was 18 year old. We visited a number of places we heard about from other families. We researched names of “vendors that were given to us from our Regional Family Support agency, we attended the Annual New Hampshire Family Support Conference event for 18 years and we talked with a number of people at community events. However, in the end we received limited and influenced information that was helpful but did not cover all the programs and different opportunities the “vendors” provided.
My wife and I stated on this venture to create a comprehensive guide of available Grants, Camps, Activities, Resources, Day and Residential programs as well as other services available for our daughter as well as friends in our community. We hope it will be a valuable resource guide for your family as well. If you have any input or new programs and vendors that are available in New Hampshire, please drop me a line and I will be sure to include it in the next revision. author@uniqueabilitiesprogramsnh.com
All services look different for everyone depending on their funding allotment, individual’s needs, individual goals, etc. The family should visit key facilities and ask questions.
Thank you as it takes a community to prepare all of us for the future.​
