Family to Family Network
A statewide, volunteer-led parent support network for families of people with disabilities.
The Family to Family Network (FtoFN) is a statewide parent support network run by volunteers. It is designed to educate, strengthen, and support families of persons with disabilities — especially those who are on the waiting list or in services with the Division of Services for People with Disabilities (DSPD).
Network leaders are parents of individuals with special needs who link families to local resources, services, and disability-friendly events. The FtoFN is a project of the Utah Parent Center.
How They Can Help
Local network leaders offer connection, guidance, and practical support to families across Utah.
- Support through local meetings, either in-person or online
- Information and referral
- Family to family support
- Tips on how to advocate for your family
- Help for families who qualify or may be eligible for DSPD services — understanding programs and how to work with providers and support coordinators
- Training on choosing or changing your support coordinator
