Puppets In Education

Through the magic of puppetry, we empower kids to talk about really important—and sometimes difficult—issues. Our puppets tell stories and talk with students about bullying, abuse, autism, health, and cultural and physical differences and more.

Policy and Advocacy

Vermont Family Networks is dedicated to public policy advocacy on behalf of children, youth, and families. Our primary focus is on supporting those who have disabilities and special health needs. We work to maximize our impact on policies that affect children and youth, especially those with disabilities or special health needs, and their families.

Family Support

We are here to listen and to help with any needs or concerns you may have related to you or your child’s health, education, or well-being. We are families of children with disabilities or special health needs ourselves and understand the challenges and the gifts our children offer.
