Idaho Parents Unlimited, Inc. (IPUL) is a statewide organization which houses the Idaho Parent Training and Information Center, the Family to Family Health Information Center, and VSA arts of Idaho.  IPUL’s activities are supported by funding from various state and federal agencies, by fundraising events, and through parent memberships.  Founded in 1985, IPUL is established as a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation in the state of Idaho.

IPUL is headquartered in Boise, Idaho, and has additional staff and contractors in other locations of the state.  IPUL is governed by a Board of Directors which consists of parents of children with disabilities, individuals with disabilities, professionals (such as teachers, counselors, and education administrators), disability service providers, and others who serve the interests of children with disabilities.

The Parent Training and Information Center programs work to ensure that parents of children with disabilities receive training and information on their rights, responsibilities, and protections under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) in order to develop the skills necessary to cooperatively and effectively participate in planning and decision making relating to early intervention, education, and transition services.  In addition, all IPUL programs work closely with families whose primary language is Spanish.

VSA arts of Idaho works to empower and engage people with disabilities in the creative process through opportunities which are fully inclusive, educational, and participatory.  VSA arts of Idaho creates these opportunities by providing professional training and workshops, developing state initiated projects, and implementing successful national programs.

The Family to Family Health Information Center works to help sustain the health and well-being of Idaho’s families, their children, and youth with special health care needs.  The program values family-centered care and honors the strengths, cultures, traditions, and expertise in the family/professional partnership.
