ABOUT Exceptional Lives Louisiana

In August 2017, the Foundation helped to launch a free, trustworthy, easy-to-follow informational website for parents and caregivers of children and young adults with disabilities in our state.

MISSION

Exceptional Lives is a not-for-profit that encourages and guides families and providers caring for children with disabilities by offering information, resources,  skill-building tools, and connections to other caregivers. We support family resiliency through clear, compassionate guidance grounded in our own personal experiences. 

WHAT THEY OFFER

Special Education Hub: Find blogs, podcasts, how-to guidance, FAQs and other formats for the topic you’re interested in.

Multimedia Resources: Such as Families & Stories video clips, along with much more.

Special Ed Glossary: A great resource provided in both English and Spanish.

Personal Support: Their Helpline provides free support by phone or email ((844) 354-1212 or info@exceptionallives.org).

HOW IT’S DONE

Plain Language - They make government and legal jargon easy to read and act on.

Personalized - They replace millions of search results – and dense, one-size-fits-all websites – with information tailored to each family’s situation.

Action-oriented - They turn the hardest process into manageable steps parents can take today.
