As a parent or caregiver of a child with limb loss or limb difference, you play a vital role in helping them build confidence, embrace their abilities, and take on the world with courage. At the Amputee Coalition, we’re here to support you along the way—because with the right resources, connections, and mindset, your child can accomplish big things in this world.

Raising a child with limb loss or limb difference comes with unique experiences, but we offer tools, guidance, and connections to other families who understand your journey.

• Parent & Caregiver Support Groups – Connect with other families to share experiences, ask questions, and build lasting friendships.
• Certified Peer Visitors – Speak with trained mentors who have firsthand experience and can provide guidance.
• National Limb Loss Resource Center® – Access expert guidance and fact sheets on development to school accommodations and sports participation.

Having the right information helps you make the best choices for your child’s health, education, and future. Our educational resources give you the knowledge and tools to support them at every stage.

• Prosthetics & Adaptive Technology – Learn about different prosthetic options, how to get the right fit, and when to explore new devices.
• Education & School Support – Understand your child’s rights, IEPs, and how to ensure they have access to the tools they need.
• Financial & Insurance Guidance – Explore funding options for prosthetics, therapy, and adaptive equipment.
• Preparing for Independence – Help your child build life skills and confidence as they grow into young adulthood.

Every child should have access to the tools and opportunities they need to succeed. By advocating for better policies and greater access to care, we can make sure families have the support they deserve.
