Montgomery County proclaims Early Intervention Awareness Week
Summary
Montgomery County commissioners proclaimed March 23–29, 2026, as Early Intervention Awareness Week and heard program leaders say the proclamation underscores that “families are not alone.” The Board received fiscal-year-2025 participation numbers (not specified in the transcript) and pledged continued partnership.
Commissioner Carolyn Rice read a proclamation declaring the week of March 23, 2026, as Early Intervention Awareness Week and said the Board values services for infants and toddlers. Tiffany Huber, Help Me Grow Brighter Futures Director, said the proclamation and the county’s ongoing partnership with the County Board of Developmental Disabilities reinforce that “families are not alone.”
Huber described the county partnership as a way to connect families to free early intervention services; the transcript records that Commissioner Rice provided fiscal year 2025 numbers for children who participated in the early intervention program but does not list a specific figure. Superintendent Gage thanked the Board and said he plans to work to improve those participation numbers. Commissioners Mary A. McDonald and Judy Dodge offered public appreciation for Huber and her team.
The proclamation was presented in the formal opening of the March 24 meeting and the honorees gathered for group photos with the commissioners. The Board did not take any separate formal action beyond reading the proclamation.
