Progeny believes that children are our most valuable resource and all children deserve the best care available to them provided in the least restrictive environment. The family should be the central influence in the lives of children and is the primary social unit in which the child lives and receives care and nurturing. Family supports are the keys to maintaining children in their families and families within their communities. Awareness and understanding are the keys to unlocking acceptance of children with special needs.
