We’re here for you—today and every day. 💙

We know many families are hearing news about changes being discussed at the federal level related to special education and disability services. We want you to hear directly from us:

PPMD is still here—fully operating, fully staffed, and fully committed to supporting you and your family.

⚖️ Important reminder: The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and the protections it provides are still in place. The laws have not changed.

No matter what happens at the federal level, our mission does not change.
We will continue to provide trusted guidance, training, and one-on-one support to families across Maryland—just as we always have.

💬 If you are interested in sharing your voice and advocating for strong protections for children and youth with disabilities, you can contact your U.S. Senators and Representatives:

Most importantly—you are not alone.
If you have questions about special education, healthcare, or navigating services, PPMD is here to help every step of the way.
