The United Arc along with other Family Support agencies as well as The Department of Disability Services (DDS) have formed the Family Support Collaborative of Franklin and Hampshire Counties. The goal of the Collaborative is to enhance communication and collaboration among agencies and other service systems in supporting our families. The first event an Outreach Breakfast to Special Education Administrator took place July 24th at The United Arc’s Family Support Center in Turners Falls. School staff were given information on Family Support Services and The Department of Disability Services, as well as participated in a discussion regarding how agencies could best support the schools in our collaborative effort of supporting families. On August 7th The United Arc will host will host another Outreach Breakfast for Special Education Administrators at the Family Support Center in Athol and on August 14th Pathlight will host the last event in the series at their location in Greenfield.
