We are closely monitoring the latest information and protocols regarding COVID-19 and how it may affect the families and partners we work with. We are temporarily postponing in-person trainings, outreach events and home visits. We are taking these precautions in order to protect the health and well-being of the families and communities we serve.
Our Family Information Center will remain open to provide support, information, and referrals for families with children that have a disability or special healthcare need. We will also continue to take referrals for our support services via our website.
