Have an Adventure with WarmLine
The Sacramento Adventure Playground is open exclusively for youth with disabilities on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of the month from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. "This event was fantastic. I didn't realize how great this adventure playground was or would be until arriving," one WarmLine parent said. "I loved how staff helped to scaffold creative problem solving rather than limit the activities or stifle creativity." Come see what everyone's talking about!
WarmLine will be offering our "Understanding Special Education" and "Let's Get Organized" parent workshops this month in Galt. A light meal will be provided and participants will receive a gas card (one per family) at the end of the workshop. Presentations will be in both English and Spanish. See you there!
The State Interagency Coordinating Council on Early Intervention is set to meet October 19-20 in downtown Sacramento. The council wants to hear from parents about their experiences -- both positive and challenging -- with Early Intervention. WarmLine will provide a stipend to help cover childcare and transportation costs for those parents/caregivers who share their story in person, in writing or by calling into the meeting. We'll also be available to provide help crafting your message prior to the session. To find out more, email WarmLine at warmline@warmlinefrc.org or call (916) 455-9500.
The California State Council on Developmental Disabilities (SCDD) is looking for your input about how we are carrying out the five-year State Plan. The State Plan includes 6 goal areas (1. Self-Advocacy, 2. Employment, 3. Housing, 4. Health & Safety, 5. Early Intervention, Education, Transition & Post-Secondary Education, and 6. Formal & Informal Community Supports), with objectives and activities that people throughout California told us were important to serve people with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities and their families. Please take a few moments and share your thoughts by taking our 2017 SCDD State Plan Survey [2017 SCDD Survey]. If you need assistance, please call the nearest Council regional office (www.scdd.ca.gov).
Unless otherwise noted, WarmLine Family Resource Center activities are open to all community families and professionals. Space limited; registration required.
