Group Forming for Parents of Point Boro Special Needs Students

A support group for Point Borough parents of special needs children is looking for new members.

The FRIENDS organization (Family Resource in Education and Development) is asking parents with special needs children to join and fill out a survey (Friends Parent Survey) to assess the needs and concerns of Point Pleasant.

Those who complete the survey will receive information and updates on the meetings and benefits of the group, said Regina McAllen. McAllen and her husband, John McAllen, who have a special needs child in the Borough public school district, are among the group organizers.

"The goal of 'FRIENDS' is to provide support, resources, training and workshops for our special needs community," Regina McAllen said in an email. "Please take the first step and complete the survey on this link before Feb. 1. This will help us identify your priorities, concerns, and the focus of the meetings. Your opinion matters - please join us!"
