UCP attended yesterday in the Great Hall of the Massachusetts State House where Early Intervention celebrated 50 years of Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and the great effects it has had on children, families, and communities in Massachusetts. Recognized were families, providers, educators, advocates, legislators, and public servants whose leadership and commitment have helped build and sustain the strong Early Intervention system that offers support for children with disabilities and their families. Pictured is Emily White, Director of the Early Intervention Division, Department of Public Heath and Chairman Aaron Michlewitz — Chair of the House Ways and Means Committee, longtime Early Intervention supporter, and recipient of the Louis L.
