Program Specialist Toni Brinegar is now recruiting for a new Partners in Policymaking class. The 2017 - 2018 class will include both parents of young children (birth to 10 years) who have developmental disabilities and adults with developmental disabilities (age 18 and older). The program requires monthly, two day classes in Boise beginning in September 2017 (with December off) through May 2018.

Interpreters are provided for people whose primary language is not English. Travel and food stipends are provided, as well as lodging. The costs of personal assistants can be provided for persons with disabilities if needed. A parental stipend can be provided if child care is an issue.

July 15th is the deadline for returning applications and those selected will be notified by July 31.
