They have all the resources necessary, specialized to the individual learning of each child, and the heart that goes with it. I don't think we would have stayed in Ohio if it wasn't for JB!

Based in Westlake, the mission of Connecting for Kids (CFK) is to provide education and support to families in Northeast Ohio who have concerns about their child. Connecting for Kids serves all families, including children with and without formal diagnoses.
CFK families live in Lorain or Cuyahoga County, have a child younger than 13 years of age, and have a concern about their child. Resources are available to families to answer many concerns including attention issues, anxiety, developmental delays, epilepsy, and sensory issues.
Connecting for Kids also assists families whose children are struggling academically, having a difficult time making friends, or are encountering a major life event such as a parents’ divorce. Additionally, CFK and its local partners offer several educational and support programs throughout the year.
Keep an eye out for the Connecting for Kids Turkey Bowl Bowling event in November of 2020! The event will follow all COVID-19 safety protocols. There are opportunities for raffle item donations, sponsor opportunities, and more! Contact Connecting for Kids at 440-570-5908 or email info@connectingforkids.org to learn more.

Julie Billiart Schools gave us hope after our daughter was diagnosed with a learning disability. At JB, she thrived in the small classes, received necessary therapies, and developed the self-confidence to ask for help when she needed it.

My kids love everything about JB and look forward to going to school every day and seeing their friends and teachers. JB is truly a one of a kind school enriching young lives everyday.

Julie Billiart Schools has helped my child become a better version of himself. The teachers and therapists at JB really know and understand how to reach children who learn differently.

I don’t think I will ever be able to put into words how grateful I am that you saw my daughter for all that she is today and all that she is yet to become.

All of the teachers and staff at JB are patient and willing to take the extra time to make sure we, as parents, understand and are comfortable.
