Description:
Parents, Let's Unite for Kids is a statewide parent organization that provides support, resources. and training to families and professionals affected by disabilities and chronic illness. Covering topics ranging from infancy to adulthood, PLUK offers statewide resources and individual support in homes, schools and medical facilities. All of PLUK's services are free to individuals with disabilities and their families.

History:
PLUK is a private, nonprofit organization formed in 1984 by parents of children with disabilities and chronic illnesses in the state of Montana for the purpose of information, support, training and assistance to aid their children at home, school and as adults.

PLUK was founded by parents who felt strongly that parents of children with disabilities need to band together to give each other information and support. It seemed foolish for each new parent to try to learn all over again what other parents already know and would willingly share. It also seemed important for parents to lend each other support because of the healing that takes place when people who share a common problem can work together to find solutions.
