Bridging Gaps. Building Belonging.
Spokane Disability Collaborative Steering Committee
The Spokane Disability Collaborative is a group of community partners working side by side.
Our coalition is led by professionals, many of whom are also parents with lived experience, which makes our commitment both professional and deeply personal.
Together, we bring compassion, understanding, and shared experience to the families we serve. By joining forces, we have created a strong network of knowledge and resources that makes it easier for families to find support. Each organization contributes unique strengths, and together, we offer guidance that helps families feel connected and understood.
The collaborative began as a way to bridge gaps and break down silos between services. Out of this effort grew the Family Support Conference and the Disability Pop-Up events, which have become welcoming spaces where families can learn, connect with others, and discover resources that help their children thrive.
