Help us spread the word to connect parents with disabilities to individualized care, evidence-informed strategies, and community resources from the comfort of their own homes.

Calling all clinicians and families in Arizona and California! Adaptive Parent Project is collaborating with University of Saint Augustine for Health Sciences to offer FREE virtual occupational therapy support for parents with disabilities.

Support looks like finding ways to make the home work better for parenting, finding strollers, baby carriers, cribs, and highchairs that are easier to use, and locating wheelchair-accessible playgrounds so families can play with their children.

In a recent FCC Taskforce poll, 40% of respondents shared they do not have a formal reading program in their NICU. We encourage you to take advantage of our free FCC Community Exchange session to begin or strengthen your unit’s reading program!

[FCCTaskforce @FccTaskforce]

We are happy to share that 100% of respondents are screening for SDOH/SIOH, even if their unit doesn’t use a standardized questionnaire, and that all respondents provide referrals/resources for families if need is indicated.

[FCCTaskforce @FccTaskforce]

September Poll results are in! Last month, we asked you to help us understand how your unit navigates Social Determinants/Influencers of Health (SDOH or SIOH).
