That’s a wrap on It Takes a Village Amarillo 2026 💚

What a powerful day of connection, learning, laughter, and community. Parents, grandparents, youth self-advocates, professionals, vendors, volunteers… y’all👏🏼showed👏🏼up!

To our presenters who shared their expertise, our vendors who brought resources directly to families, our volunteers who jumped in wherever needed, and our incredible staff who worked behind the scenes. Thank you!

And a very special thank you to our conference sponsor, Wellpoint. Your support made this event possible. Because of you, families had access to education, lunch, door prizes, and meaningful resources at no cost. That matters.

We are grateful for every single person who chose to spend their Saturday building stronger families and stronger communities.

It truly takes a village. And Amarillo showed up today!

A HUGE thank you to our amazing partner and conference sponsor, Wellpoint 💙

Because of their support, families in Amarillo were able to attend a FREE conference filled with resources, education, lunch, door prizes, and real connection.

When organizations step up like this, it directly impacts parents, youth, and caregivers navigating disability services. That matters.

Wellpoint did not just put their logo on a flyer. They showed up. They invested in families. They helped us build community.

We are truly grateful for partners who understand that empowering families strengthens the entire community.

Thank you, Wellpoint, for being part of our village!!

💜 Shout Out to Our Incredible Community Partner, Uniting Parents!

We want to take a moment to recognize Uniting Parents for standing alongside us at the It Takes a Village Special Needs Conference & Resource Fair.

Their mission says it best: You are NOT alone.

And they prove that every single day by walking with families of children with disabilities, offering guidance, resources, encouragement, and real connection.

Community partnerships like this are what make events like ours powerful. When organizations come together with one shared goal, empowering families, lives are strengthened.

Thank you, Uniting Parents, for your heart, your presence, and your commitment to families in Amarillo. We are grateful to serve alongside you.

It truly takes a village. 💜

Join us for Education Savings Accounts 101, a free webinar on school vouchers with Colleen Potts, Disability Rights Texas on Tuesday, March 3rd at 12:15 pm.

Register today at https://us02web.zoom.us/.../reg.../WN_VXwMO5ZdR3qrawsA9Tgiwg

This presentation helps Texas parents of students with disabilities understand what Education Savings Accounts (ESAs) are, how they work, and what they may mean for their child’s education. We’ll cover who is eligible, what expenses ESAs can be used for, how ESAs differ from special education services provided through public schools, and important considerations for families weighing this option. The goal is to provide parents with straightforward, unbiased information so they can make informed decisions that best support their child’s individual needs.
