GEARThe Place where
Gaining Empowerment Allows Results
GEAR is a statewide parent run program of Crisis and Counseling Centers Inc.
Gear exists to provide opportunity for contact between parents to prevent
isolation and share knowledge gained by parenting a child with special
needs. All GEAR parent representatives have the experience of loving and
caring for a child with special needs. They know the importance of having
someone to talk to who understands what life can be like surrounding issues at
home, in the community and at school. Through sharing information, parents learn
about services for children, how to access them and what has worked for
others. To find out more about GEAR activities in your area call GEAR
