Scan to access New IEP info
If you have children with special needs who are accessing their education under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) in the state of Connecticut, and they have an Individualized Educational Program (IEP), here is what you need to know… A new IEP document will be implemented as of 7/1/2022. For information regarding the changes, the Connecticut State Department of Education has created an online training tool for educators, parents, and families, available in English and in Spanish, available at: https://portal.ct.gov/SDE/Special-Education/Bureau-of-Special-Education/New-IEP.
Navigating and understanding special education and how to tailor your child’s IEP can be very difficult and challenging for parents, caregivers, and families. YOU are an integral part of your child’s educational success, and you are not alone.

Sugar Rush Sugar-sweetened beverages are the leading source of added sugars in the American diet. Since added sugars are hidden in many drinks, we tend to consume more than the recommended amount without even realizing it. Excessive added sugar intake is linked to health conditions such as obesity, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and tooth decay.¹ CHNCT has created the Sugar Rush program to educate HUSKY Health members on the growing problem of consuming excessive added sugar. Sugar Rush is a fun and interactive educational program that allows participants to spin a wheel and guess how many teaspoons of sugar are in various drink options and serving sizes. We then explore healthier alternatives to popular sugary drinks.
