Congratulations to the MSU Bobcats on their narrow win over Illinois State last night! 🎉💙💛 What a game!

It’s also a great time to remind families that we serve youth with disabilities up to age 26. If you’re a parent of a young person with a disability—whether it’s dyslexia, ADHD, a speech impairment, or another need—we're here to support you.

Navigating the transition to adulthood can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. We can help you understand your options, access resources, and even keep Section 504 9f the Rehabilitation Act in place through college.

Reach out anytime—we’re here for you and your family. 💛

🎉 Celebrating 5 Years of Impact! 🎉
As 2025 wraps up, we’re proud to celebrate five years of educating, encouraging, and empowering families across Montana. What started with a group of parents has grown into a statewide hub of support—and it’s all thanks to YOU.

This year we:
✨ Supported more families through calls, emails, and our new Empower Hour Webinar Series
✨ Delivered trainings across the state and expanded our library of reusable materials
✨ Published two major handbooks + 16 tip sheets, guides, and 45 webinars
✨ Reached more parents, youth and professionals than ever
✨ Strengthened partnerships with OPI, Voc Rehab, DPHHS, Head Start, and more
✨ Expanded and improved our website for easier access to resources
✨ Celebrated big and small victories with thousands of families statewide

We are grateful to our dedicated team and to every family, partner, and educator who has walked alongside us.

Here’s to 5 years of impact—and to many more ahead. 💛
Thank you for making this work possible.
