Dear FACT Oregon Community, The start of a new year is a good time to think about what’s changing for our families. As the parent of a young adult with an intellectual disability, I know that transitions don’t happen all at once. They occur over time—through planning, learning, nurturing, letting go, and figuring out what support is needed next. At FACT Oregon, transitions are at the center of our work. Families move from early childhood services to school, from school to adulthood, and into new roles and responsibilities. These changes can feel overwhelming, but having clear information and the right supports makes a real difference. In 2026, we’ll continue our focus on helping families understand their options, build skills, and plan ahead—so transitions are less stressful and more manageable. And we kick it all off with annual conferences on Pathways to Adulthood in January and Early Childhood in February! Happy New Year, Christy Reese
Executive Director, FACT Oregon
