March is National Nutrition Month, a time to celebrate the importance of healthy eating for everyone—including people with disabilities. Everyone deserves access to healthy food—including people with disabilities. Good nutrition supports energy, strength, and overall well-being.
This month, let’s promote accessible nutrition by sharing simple recipes, supporting inclusive programs, and encouraging healthy choices that work for every body.
💚 Small steps can make a big difference!

We are excited to welcome a new cohort to the Early Intervention Specialist Program (EISP)! Please join us in welcoming Anupama Subramaniam, Sydney Spencer, and Lucyannie Velazquez.
Our facilitator, Jill Isenberg, will be working with the participants throughout this year-long program, which includes 45 online sessions across three sequential graduate-level courses: Family-Centered Practice, Evaluation and Assessment, and Intervention Strategies. We look forward to supporting their learning and professional growth over the coming year.

Today we attended the Public Hearing for House Bill 5485 An Act Concerning Supporting Decision Making. Many testimonies in support of this bill, one participant shared that "Everyone deserves the opportunity to make decisions about their own life. For more than 40 years, supported decision-making has been part of my family’s journey. Like many families, we rely on trusted people to help us think through important choices. When we make a major purchase, decide on healthcare, or navigate big life changes, we ask others for input. That’s normal. That’s how people make thoughtful decisions."
Across the country, 29 states and the District of Columbia already recognize Supported Decision-Making. Legislation like HB 5485 would help ensure people with disabilities have the opportunity to maintain their rights and independence while receiving the support they need.
We hope legislators heard these powerful testimonies today!
