Women of Distinction Magazine Selects Schaneick Thomas as a Distinguished Professional in Her Field

    RICHMOND HILL, NY, October 26, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Schaneick Thomas, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of ManyBabies NYC, Inc., has been recognized with an Excellence Award as a Distinguished Professional in her field through Women of Distinction Magazine. Schaneick Thomas will be featured in an upcoming edition of Women of Distinction Magazine in 2016/2017.

As Founder and CEO of ManyBabies NYC, Inc. in Richmond Hill, New York, Schaneick Thomas works to provide parent education on disability laws, the special education process, and procedural safeguards on the rights of parents and students enrolled in the New York City school districts. She holds family and community support groups, offers a clinic that provides personalized advocacy services to families, works to provide outreach services to create partnerships between local businesses, schools, government agencies, and city politicians to make them aware of her no-cost services, coordinates monthly parent support group meetings, develops and hosts various workshops and fundraising events to gain community support, performs on-site presentations, and serves as a vendor for community events, all in the name of the children.

Leaving her corporate career in commercial insurance writing nearly 15 years ago to return to college to receive her MS in Curriculum and Instruction after learning of her two sons' developmental delays, one of which was diagnosed with Ventricular Septal Defect, Thomas wanted to delve deep into the field in an effort to help her children. In the process, she formed ManyBabies NYC, Inc. in 2015 to serve other parents living in her shoes and needing answers.

"After discovering my sons' disabilities, I had a very difficult time finding other parents to lean on that were going through what I was going through," Thomas said, "which is what eventually led to my opening the doors to ManyBabies NYC, Inc. I wanted to not only help other parents, but also serve as a voice in the community and beyond."

Welcoming parents across surrounding boroughs, Thomas has been known to even advise parents from other states since the federal law governs all of the schools countrywide. Between her formal education and her years of research, Thomas says that, if educated properly, parents can most certainly refine what a normal life looks like for their child with special needs; there is hope.
