Our medical lawyers are always on the lookout for great new resources to share with parents of kids affected by cerebral palsy, and we recently came across a website called Parlerai. The site was created last year by the parents of a young girl with special needs, and its aim is to improve communication and collaboration among caregivers.
Taking care of a child with special needs can be a full-time job in and of itself, and the burden is on parents to make sure the lines of communication are open among all their child’s care providers. This is not always an easy task, a fact both Jon and Kristin Erickson soon realized after the birth of their daughter.
That’s why they decided to create Parlerai – to help others like themselves create a secure network of family, friends and healthcare providers in the interest of fostering increased collaboration and communication.
Parlerai offers a variety of affordable services for families, including:
- A closed and secure network for you, your child and anyone involved in your child’s life – features a database for parents to store documents, pictures, etc.
- A shared media library
- A calendar/scheduling function
- Alerts for urgent messages
- Blogs and instant messaging
