Family Listening Session (Birth-8)

Please join FACT Oregon and the Division for Early Childhood for an open conversation between families and early childhood professionals about supports and services in IDEA Part C (Birth-3) and Part B 619 (preschool).

Bring your questions, concerns, and ideas so we can move towards high quality inclusive services in early childhood education, delivered by highly qualified professionals in full partnership with families.

This Parent Professional Listening Session is hosted in English in person as a supplemental session for DEC2025: Division for Early Childhood's 41st Annual International Conference on Young Children with Disabilities and Their Families in Portland on October 7-10, 2025.
