   ABOUT DELIVER THE DREAM

Deliver the Dream helps families suffering from a serious illness or crisis. We organize monthly three-day retreats for families. Our program invites up to 15 families, free of charge, to one of our retreat locations. Each family that attends has a member - whether it's a child or parent - living with an illness such as Cancer, Autism, HIV/AIDS or Cerebral Palsy. Our retreats allow families to relax, enjoy time together, forge new friendships and create support groups with the other families suffering from the same disease. When one person in a family is sick, the entire family is impacted and there are very few organizations nationwide that focus on the whole family unit like Deliver the Dream.

Parenting in a 
 Digital World 

Screen Time: How Much is Too Much?

Should you restrict your children's access to video games and other digital media or let them play as much as they want? This is the most common question we receive at Learning Works for Kids.Read more

Technology and Education: Making Your Life Easier

There are lots of things that kids (and adults) are asked to do that they simply don't enjoy. But sometimes, technology can make completing these tasks easier, and actually more fun.

Are you searching for a true shortcut to American Sign Language (ASL)? Do you have a wish list of signs you want to learn? We'll incorporate that and more into the workshop for hands on practice. Our innovative and unique program uses ASL to create communication and facilitate speech development for children with autism and other special needs.
