David's Story

My name is David Jefferson and I am a father of five children, each who has their own unique strengths and special needs.  Several years ago, I began my journey in advocacy, because as a parent of children with diverse needs, I understand and appreciate all the difficulties involved in caring for a child with exceptionality.

​

Every week I talk to families who have questions or are seeking support because they have concerns with their child’s progress in school, in the community or at home.  

​

It is my hope that through Parent Support Arizona, families across Arizona will find the support they need to better advocate for their children. I know firsthand that raising children with diverse needs can be overwhelming. You do not have to walk this path alone. If you need support for your child, please contact us, we are here to help.
