🚨Recall alert🚨

Please stop use and reach out to Target for refund options.

Target is voluntarily recalling some of their Up & Up brand baby wipes due to potential contamination.

According to a Target announcement shared by the Food and Drug Administration, the company said it received complaints about the wipes getting discolored.

After testing by the FDA, some product samples contained the presence of Burkholderia cepacia complex and Burkholderia gladioli bacteria, naturally occurring bacteria that can cause illness in humans and pose a higher risk to children.

Today we celebrate the International Day of Families. This year's theme is "Families, Inequalities and Child Wellbeing."

Child Wellbeing and equal access to rights like healthcare and education are high on the priority list for families of children with disabilities and/or complex medical needs.

The Family to Family (F2F) and Paths for Parents (P4P) programs at the WVU CED are two programs that work together to serve children and families with special healthcare needs in West Virginia. They offer mentoring programs that provide peer-to-peer support, connections to resources, support groups, parent/caregiver education courses, and self-advocacy coaching. Not to mention multiple free podcast episodes available that highlight the experiences of families and caregivers.
