Welcome

The Family to Family Initiative is a project devoted to linking Indiana families to people, information, and resources within their own communities.  We bring together parents of children with disabilities, developmental delays or special health care needs so that they can share their knowledge, concerns, and experiences with each other.

Family to Family is an initiative through the Unified Training System (UTS) and is funded by the Family & Social Services Administration (FSSA), Division of Disability and Rehabilitative Services, First Steps. The grant is collaboratively managed by the Indiana University, Indiana Institute on Disability and Community, Early Childhood Center and About Special Kids (ASK).
