VELA
VELA empowers parents of children with disabilities to become their child's greatest advocates through hands-on courses, support, and community building. Together, we can create a community where all families of children with disabilities thrive.
Navigating disability can feel overwhelming-parents want the best for their child yet they are faced with so many acronyms, systems, endless paperwork, and confusing meetings. That's where VELA steps in. Through our courses and wraparound services, families gain the knowledge, support, resources, and community to become their child's greatest advocates.
