Apply now for our advisory committee: Families Reimagining Inclusive Lives (FRIL)

Encourage families of young children with disabilities to focus on options for inclusive living and learning, rather than assuming that a segregated setting is the best or only option. The advisory committee will meet virtually so you can participate from the comfort of your own home!

Are you...

• a parent of a child with a disability between ages birth to 5 years old?
• an advocate for young children with disabilities?
• a provider of services for young children with disabilities?
• a person with lived disability experience and a passion for inclusion?
• interested in learning more or sharing your knowledge about inclusive options and activities for families of young children with disabilities?

If you answered "YES " to any of these, consider becoming an advisory committee member.

Meetings are virtual and held at least quarterly.

Kick-Off Meeting: Wednesday, September 27, 2023 at 3 p.m.
