​​The Founding Mothers learned from their sons, Sean & Luke, you have to start somewhere. You can't wait for all the answers; you have to open the door, have faith and step through.

​We begin The Extended Family journey, knowing everything we want to accomplish is not in place but what we can do is hold your hand every step of the way to discover solutions that are right for you.

Our immediate mission is to develop micro-businesses that create Meaningful Engagement for Exceptional Individuals. Learn more.

We also serve in an advisory and advocacy capacity. And because we're in this together we'll share our years of experience while providing our services free of charge. We will:

• ​  Listen to where you are in your journey and answer your questions.
•   Share our painstaking research: what worked, what didn't.
•   Help you navigate available funding (i.e. Self Direction in NY State).
•   Explore staffing resources that are right for your family.
•   Introduce you to Exceptional Families.
•   Provide hugs!​
