SPIN
Raising a child with special needs can be overwhelming—families must navigate complex systems, conflicting information, and emotional and financial strain. Connecting with other parents who share similar experiences can make a world of difference.
In 1985, Santa Cruz County parents began meeting for mutual support, forming what became SPIN (Special Parents Information Network) in 1996. Incorporated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 2000, SPIN continues to provide information, resources, and community to help families thrive.
