Welcome
Planning for the future can feel daunting. Knowing what to ask for while your child is in school is key to ensuring they can pursue a life of self-determination as an adult. Through VELA's interactive 5 session course, you will become your child's greatest advocate. Join VELA to gain knowledge, empowerment, resilience, and community. You can also check out other course options and/or register for support group.
We look forward to meeting you in person on or the screen!
