We shared a heads up that there are confirmed cases of measles in Oregon and Washington, and to be sure to check your records - are your children's immunizations up to date?

Are You Aware of Idaho's Centers for Independent Living?
|
|
Parents, are you familiar with Idaho's Centers for Independent Living? In N. Idaho, you have Disability Action Center Northwest (DAC NW). Southwest Idaho is LINC and LIFE is found in E. Idaho. These are important resources for many of our youth with disabilities who are transitioning into adulthood.
Check out what DAC NW just posted about their services

Parent Voice Wants Your Input
|
|
We were happy to share the latest survey from our friends in the Parent Network:
We are excited to give you our next survey. Our last survey was about Crisis Response, Desired Services, Insurance, and Communication, and you can find the
results
on our website. This survey is about how our children are being supported by the education system in Idaho. Please take a moment to fill out the survey. At the end of the survey you can forward it to friends who you you think would like to participate. (The more people who take the survey, the better our data is!)

We want you to update your preferences!
|
|
You can now tune your email preferences! We want to be sure you are getting the mail from us that matters to you.
Currently if you are on our mailing list (and if you are reading this, you are) you are getting everything we send out... However we know that not
everyone wants to see
everything we send out, so we are making it easy to tune your preferences.
If you scroll to the very bottom of this mailing you will find a link that says "update profile" clicking this will launch a page where you can update your information, and choose what mailings you will receive from us in the future.
You will be able to deselect or select to be on the newsletter list, the social media update list, or the announcements list.
If you are happy with getting everything, then you don't have to do anything, you are all set. But should you want to adjust what we send you, that is now possible.

IPUL's upcoming statewide trainings:
|
|
Starting in January, we will not be hosting a live webinar on the same topic we give our statewide training on for that month. Instead will be releasing a series of prerecorded modules on the same topic. We'll be making them available through our website, and will post them on the same day we normally would have done the live webinar - the first one will be scheduled to go live on January 29, 2019, and will cover our "Power of a Personal Story" training.
