Resources for Individuals and Families
Sometimes just knowing where to start can be hard.
That's why DBHDS created the Individual and Family Support Program (IFSP) to help families and individuals with developmental disabilities find supports and to connect with other families.
The IFSP provides:
- the IFSP-Funding Program,
- our Community Coordination Program,
- peer mentoring opportunities through our partnership with The Arc of Virginia,
- family mentoring opportunities through our partnership with Virginia Commonwealth University's Center for Family Involvement, and
- our partnership with disAbilityNavigator.
To learn about IFSP and Virginia's developmental disability system, please review our "IFSP: First Steps" guide.
