Here are the highlights of our upcoming events and recent activity online. Not everything is included due to timeliness.

If an advertised event already took place, we've left it off. 

Just because we were shut down for the holiday season doesn't mean we don't have something new for you today! Idaho Parents Unlimited will be back in full operation on January 2, 2024. However we have a new Self-guided training for you on how to decipher Idaho's Medicaid System that will have gone live by the time you have received this email.

Happy Holidays!

Idaho Parents Unlimited will be closed for the Holidays between December 23 to January 1, 2024. Any messages left for us during that time will not be responded to until January 2, 2024 at the earliest.



We hope you have a great holiday season!

We want to hear from YOU!

We are looking to go a new direction for IPUL's Parent Leadership Development Institute. 2024 will be virtual!

We will be determining our location and dates based on interest. Applicants will be selected through an application and interview process with IPUL staff. Applicants must have tangible leadership goals to be considered.

Please note that this is not a registration form!

If you're wondering if this is for you, ask yourself the following:

• Are you a parent of a young child with a disability?
• Are you interested in learning more about systems and services that impact your child?
• Do you want to learn how to take your advocacy to the next level?

If you answered yes to the above we encourage you to click this link:

and let us know that you're interested.

Contact Idaho Parents Unlimited!

The best method to reach us for assistance is through our website:  

https://ipulidaho.org/connect-with-us/ . You can also shoot us a question using the abbreviated version of that form at the bottom of every page on our website, although we may need to get more information from you.

We monitor our intake phone line (208-342-5884) during the workday, and will try to respond to any request there within 24 hours. We use an automated intake phone system, so you will be leaving a message. (Please be sure the number you are leaving us can accept text or voice messages.)

For questions that are not about something in our scope of work, you can still leave a phone message as above, send the question to the form on our website, or shoot us an email at parents@ipulidaho.org.

We keep our website updated with new events and maintain a presence on Facebook, and Instagram
