Thank you for taking the time to read our e-newsletter!

October is more than just the season of falling leaves; it's a month packed with significance for the disability community, as we celebrate Disability History and Awareness Month, Bullying Prevention Month, and EFMP Awareness Month!


Bullying, a persistent concern affecting students' education, physical and emotional well-being, and their overall safety, remains at the forefront of our minds. The National Bullying Prevention Center, where you can find essential resources to help you create a safer environment for all.

As we honor EFMP (Exceptional Family Member Program) Awareness Month, our focus also turns to our military families, whose resilience and strength are truly remarkable. In part one of our two-part series, we'll explore what makes military families exceptional. In part two, we view the specific benefits of the EFMP for military families, shedding light on how this vital program supports those who sacrifice so much.


Additionally, in keeping with the spirit of Disability History and Awareness Month, we're thrilled to present an article provided by PAVE, which offers a fascinating exploration of the Disability Rights Timeline. Join us in recognizing the progress, the challenges, and the triumphs in the ongoing fight for equality and inclusion for individuals with disabilities.


But that's not all! October also marks National Reading Month, a time when we celebrate the joy of diving into the written word, expanding our horizons, and opening doors to endless possibilities.


Our October Pipeline E-Newsletter is more than just an informative resource; it's an invitation to join us in embracing awareness, empowering change, and celebrating the resilience and strength within our diverse communities. Wishing you a fantastic October full of insights, empowerment, and, of course, great reads!
