FACE Centers
The Westchester Institute for Human Development (WIHD) Community Support Network is the Hudson Valley’s resource for individuals with disabilities, their families, and the professionals supporting them.
If you have a student who receives special education services and has an Individualized Education Program (IEP), Family and Community Engagement (FACE) Centers can help:
- answer questions
- offer free training and workshops
- provide educational resources in English and Spanish, and
- help with direct consultation and referral assistance.
