"Community Connections"

Wayne County Family Connection and the Navigtor 360 Team worked with several families who have children with disabilities to establish a PATH for the success of their child and their family. Community Connections is a book that is a result of two of these families desire for their daughters to follow their dreams and work as caregivers in assisted living homes or nursing homes. Additionally, the families are passionate about literacy and this book is culmination of students with disabilities interviewing seniors in our community about days gone by. To purchase a book please call the office at (912) 810-0101 or email at familyconnection@waynehelp.com.
