FAMILIES, WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!

Are you currently involved in Early Intervention services or have you been part of the journey with your little one in the past couple of years? Your experiences, ideas, challenges, and successes matter.

We are hosting an Early Intervention Family Listening Session to create a safe and welcoming space for families to share their voices, connect with others, and help shape supports and resources for families across our community.

Whether your journey has felt overwhelming, hopeful, confusing, exhausting, empowering — or all of the above — your story is important.

✨ Join us to:
• Share your experiences and needs
• Help identify gaps and barriers families face
• Connect with other families who understand the journey
• Help us create stronger family-centered supports in Early Intervention

Your voice can help make a difference for other families walking this path. Register below.

Join New Path and PEATC on Saturday, May 2, 2026, at the Hanover Parent Resource Center for a welcoming, family-centered event created with you in mind!

Are you getting ready for an IEP meeting as the school year wraps up? Or maybe you’ve already had your child’s IEP meeting and are wondering how it went—looking for a little more clarity and reassurance? Wherever you are in the process, you’re not alone. Come connect, ask questions, and gain helpful insights in a supportive space designed for families.

Light refreshments and coffee will be available beginning at 9:00 AM—we look forward to seeing you there!

The IFSP celebrates caregivers all year! We are honored to work with so many Council members, community partners, and colleagues who have taken on or are stepping up in this important capacity to support people with disabilities.

Today, we are sharing 4 resources that can help caregivers:

1️⃣ The Virginia Lifespan Respite Voucher Program (VLRVP) through the Virginia Department for Aging and Rehabilitative Services: Virginia caregivers (now including kinship caregivers!) are eligible for reimbursement vouchers for the cost of temporary, short-term respite care provided to individuals of any age, with a documented disability or medical condition. Get details and apply: https://www.vda.virginia.gov/vlrv.htm

2️⃣ Our partners at VirginiaNavigator and disabilityNavigator share free caregiving resources and information for people with disabilities and their families. Visit them online: https://virginianavigator.org/.../64213/caregiver-resources and https://disabilitynavigator.org/for-caregivers

3️⃣ Our partners at the Center for Family Involvement provide 1:1 family navigation to help families of people with disabilities navigate services and supports, all over Virginia! Learn more: https://cfi.partnership.vcu.edu

4️⃣ The New Path initiative from The Arc of Virginia was created to support families of infants and toddlers (birth to age 3) with developmental delays or disabilities. Learn more and connect with other caregivers: https://www.thearcofva.org/prenatal-and-early-childhood-resources

Every coo, look, and gesture is a “serve.” When you respond, you’re telling a baby, “I hear you.” These back-and-forth moments build connection and help young brains grow.
