Idaho Parents Unlimited will be out of the office the week of May 27
Idaho Parents Unlimited Parent Education staff will be out of the office for the week of May 27 due to the holiday and a regional conference for parent centers.
During that time, calls to our office will be going to voicemail, and may not be returned until the following Monday, June 3rd. Our intake line will be updated to reflect that.
If you do need assistance, the best way to reach us will be via email - if you know who you need to speak to you can email us at (person's first name)@ipulidaho.org
If you have questions, we will still be able to respond if you fill in the "Question for a Parent Education Coordinator?" form. We will link it below. Be aware that there may be a delay. Thank you for your understanding.

Donate to Idaho Parents Unlimited!
IPUL's limited funding and resources allows us to support families who have children and youth with disabilities and complex health conditions throughout the state of Idaho.
Our programs are historically underfunded, and we are always grateful for individual contributions that support us in our efforts to meet the needs of more families and youth.
An example of a program with the greatest need is our Work of Art program. With Work of Art, IPUL partners with local artists and companies to provide paid work experience for students with disabilities who are transitioning from school to the workplace.
Your contribution will ensure young people with disabilities will have access to meaningful employment skill development, leading to happy, productive, and independent lives.
Your individual contribution is a direct investment in Idaho's families.
Idaho Parents Unlimited's Social Media Policy
Hello friends,
IPUL is in the process of updating our social media policies as more and more messages are coming to our organization via digital means. Unfortunately, we find the Facebook inbox and notifications to be somewhat unreliable. This is especially true when there is more than one person serving as a page administrator. Therefore, if you send a message to our FB inbox, you will receive an automatic reply directing you to our website intake form or phone number. We'll do our best to check for messages each day, but we much prefer to use our systems that are currently in place to provide appropriate assistance.
That said, we have also developed new policies regarding staff and their personal FB pages as well as other social media sites - including personal cell phones (text messaging). Frequently, our staff are tagged in posts on groups and expected to respond (or they feel obligated) after regular business hours. They also receive private instant messages via this technology as well.
All staff have been instructed to respond to work-related messages only during our regular business hours (Monday-Friday; 9:00-5:00) or during their individually scheduled hours when they are each working using company equipment and resources only. If you contact employees with their personal messaging accounts, they are instructed to not respond, other than to direct you to our official channels.
We hope this will help us to be consistent in providing assistance as well as ensuring messages don't fall through the cracks. Thanks for understanding!
