Angela, Executive Director

"I know I'm a bit biased as the executive director but I'll tell you that my favorite things about IPUL are having the opportunity to bridge relationships between schools and parents, helping parents understand the IEP process, and helping to making sense of the entire Medicaid program in Idaho. I love when parents have that sigh of relief when they are finally connected to others who "get it." I love all of the opportunities that we get to partner on advocacy efforts that impact the systems are families our trying to navigate. I love, love, love our arts programming. Our Work of Art employment skill building program produces some of the most beautiful outcomes for youth who are entering adulthood and preparing themselves for this great big world! I've been with IPUL for more than twelve years now but they've been a part of my life since I found them when my daughter was about age two. She's turning 26 this month. IPUL has been life-changing for me in too many ways to count ."

"I love that you guys help where I didn’t even know I needed help! I wish I had this when my daughter was first placed in an IEP. I didn’t understand it and still don’t entirely! She needed so much advocating at the beginning and I wasn’t fully prepared. You are an amazing resource to empower parents! I’m new to you and your programs so I am just looking forward to seeing what all you have!"

"Idaho Parents Unlimited is essential to Idaho and the families they serve. Small, but mighty and it's incredible on how much they accomplish and how many they support. They have personally supported me through the IEP process, how to walk through dispute resolution issues, and just day to day questions that arise when it comes to special education. Highly recommend!"

"Idaho Parents Unlimited has been such a blessing in my families life. Besides being an advocate and knowledgeable, they're also there to listen. Friends and family are wonderful, but sometimes having someone that's passionate for people with disabilities is a wonderful option. Thank you Ipul for being an ear when I needed someone."

"The people within this organization, are so helpful. They are well educated and very kind and understanding."

"This is a great place to get information and resources regarding anything related to disability. Whether it is for you, your child or someone you know."

"I feel like I learn more and more everyday when I see posts from Idaho Parents Unlimited. It’s been an amazing experience learning about the different programs you provide as well as feeling confident that I know what my tools are when it comes to advocating for my daughter, and eventually my son if he needs it in the future."

"Seeing the difference in my roommates daughter after she was enrolled in the different programs you all advocate for was amazing. One minute no one could understand her the next she was a different kid. I hope that others can get the help they need to advocate for the kids in their lives that need too!"

"This is such a helpful conference! I learned so much and made wonderful friends."

"Parent Leadership is life changing!! Anyone who has an opportunity to attend should jump on it. I’m forever grateful for the chance I had to attend years ago."

"Thanks to Parent Leadership, I feel much better equipped to support other families in my community now. Thank you, IPUL!"

We love having the opportunity to support and educate all of our families! - IPUL Staff
