Partner with VELA
Let's work together.
We know that to create a community where all families of children with disabilities thrive, we need partnerships. Learn more about how you and your organization can bring a version of VELA's services to those you serve.
VELA Workshops and Series for Families
​VELA can provide our standalone Special Education or Autism workshops and/or 3 part series to the families you serve at your school, agency or healthcare clinic. Workshops and/or series can be provided in person or virtually, in English or in Spanish. Through a fee for service contract, we can co-design the planning, coordination and delivery of services to your families. This way you can focus on your role and we can make sure the families you serve can become their child's greatest advocate.
Need Professional Development?
Do you work with families that have children with disabilities? Want to learn how to better partner and collaborate with them to create the best outcomes? VELA provides a "Empowering Families Navigating Special Education" training to healthcare, educational or social service providers. Co-facilitated by VELA graduates, this training can empower you and your team to understand parent's experiences, needs and ways to work together-while also learning how to take care of yourself. Training can be provided in person or virtually.
"This training was amazing. I not only better understand the parent's experience but I left with two amazing tools I can use in my ARD meetings tomorrow with families! Thank you so much!"
