The Association for Special Children and Families ASCF is a Community Organization for families of children with disabilities We were founded by a small group of dedicated parents in 1978 who wanted to assist other parents in the challenging role of parenting and educating a child with a disability Our goal is to support and educate parents to advocate for their own child with a special need We are not advocates, but parent consultants who guide and support parents Parents are their childs best and most effective advocates We give them the tools to do this on their own We have been here more than 4 decades helping and supporting parents who have children with disabilities In the beginning, we were all volunteer parents who operated on small donations Now we have a diversified staff including a bilingual parent consultant, administrative staff and community volunteers who assist us in our programs We work with local partner agencies toward a common goal of helping children with special needs reach their full potential Our parent activities are funded by the Office of Special Education OSEP, US Department of Education and Passaic County Department of Human Services Our Childrens programs are made possible through fundraising activities and community donations
