History

The group was founded in October of 2005 in Lincoln, California by Marcelle Ciampi, a parent with a special needs child and a former public school teacher. SEAMS is currently lead by myself, Christina Conn, a parent of six children with special needs. In addition, I am also a credentialed teacher who has taught in WPUSD, as well as in San Diego. Several parents of children with special needs also assist in leading SEAMS.

Since 2006, the group has been lead by Christina Conn (me), Kelly Lyons, and Kitty Sutcliffe, (knowledgeable parents with special needs children in the District). The group has grown from four dedicated parents to over 300 members at its current state. We are supported and sponsored by Rowell Family Empowerment of Northern California, (see Links for more information). Membership continues to grow monthly. See Contacts page for more information on SEAMS leader and/or background qualifications and family.

Membership

Any individual who attends a meeting or contacts SEAMS in hopes of gaining or sharing information or support can become a member of SEAMS. There are no annual fees. A roster of members is kept on file for Rowell Family Empowerment of Northern California, the sponsors of our group. We send out monthly meeting reminders, and occasionally other relevant information.

Rest assured, we do not send out a ton of irrelevant "junk mail", nor do we pass your contact information along to anyone else, other than the above, unless YOU specifically TELL us to. Trust me, I do not have the time to inundate you with endless propaganda even if I wanted to! That being said, feel free to contact us at any time for more information via phone or email, and we will get back to you! We look forward to hearing from you!
