LifeLine
LifeLine’s three basic purposes are to
provide support, information, and education to families
who have a member living with a chronic or temporary
medical or educational, physical or mental disability.
Currently, LifeLine is mostly aimed at families of
children with special needs, but our ultimate goal is to
reach families of those with disabilities across the
lifespan, whether the disabilities be related to birth
or acquired later in life. The Chattanooga Area Resource
& Education (CARE) Center is a project of LifeLine. It
is a federally funded community parent resource center
where families can get mentoring on the special
education law (IDEA) and help navigating through the
special education system. CARE serves families whose
children range in age from birth to 22 with all
disabilities.
