🎓 C2P2 EI Graduate – Class of 2026 👩‍🎓💜

On May 9th, I officially completed the Competence and Confidence Partners in Policymaking Early Intervention (C2P2 EI) program through Parent to Parent of Pennsylvania under OCDEL. The past 10 months have been an incredible journey. 🎉

This program was intense, challenging, emotional, and deeply rewarding. It involved traveling to multiple in-person sessions in Lancaster, PA, completing extensive Zoom sessions, and spending many hours away from my family. Despite the demands, every moment was worth it.

Throughout the program, we explored topics such as Early Intervention service delivery, government and policy development, disability history and pride, the ADA, advocacy, IEP/504 planning, and transition planning.

Beyond the coursework, I began attending Parent Cafés and participating in LICC and SICC meetings. I also wrote letters to legislators and found my voice in IEP meetings. This experience helped me realize that if I want meaningful change for my child and for families like ours, I need to be part of creating that change.

As my next step, I am stepping outside my comfort zone to become a resource for other parents navigating similar journeys. Please feel free to reach out if you have questions or would like to connect.

I have also attached the flyer for the upcoming C2P2 EI program—registration is now open.
