For IDA's 50th Anniversary, we are kicking off a $50 for 50 Campaign, meaning a $50 gift will support IDA into the next 50 years.

We hope to raise $50,000 to continue IDA's impact on professional development and lift our voice to make a difference for the largest-possible population of infants and toddlers and their families for the decades to come.

Please support IDA with your gift of "$50 for 50" to achieve the future growth of IDA. Larger and smaller donations are always welcome, and all donations are tax deductible.

Contribute today by clicking here.

IDA is 50 years old! Gather with IDA friends and have fun while sharing memories of our past and dreams for our future. Reconnect and celebrate with new people and those you haven't seen in years (or longer!)

Have you ever had those visits where you wish you had said something differently?

Do you often wonder how to ask a hard question and answer when a parent asks a hard question?

What about those times when you may be frustrated and wish that you could communicate with the family more affectively?

Let's get together and work through some of these situations. Finding ways to reframe or rephrase things we want to say is an important skill and takes practice.

Join us as we all practice together.
