Parents, Let’s Unite for Kids (PLUK)
(406) 255-0540 or 1-800-222-7585
PLUK is a private, nonprofit
organization formed 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 is an organization of parents and other caring individuals who serve
families and individuals with disabilities of any age and at no cost. 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.
