Pathways for Inclusion: A DeLuca Family Initiative

03/24/2026

💛 For the parents who are wondering… “Is this just a phase?”
💛 For the ones who have been told to “wait and see”…
💛 For the families searching for answers, support, and hope…

We see you.

Sometimes it’s not easy to know when to reach out. Maybe your child is struggling to communicate, having a hard time with feeding, feeling overwhelmed, or navigating big emotions. Maybe you’ve heard different opinions, or maybe you’re just not sure where to start.

That’s exactly why the Family Resource Center was created.

Through partnerships with Hometown Pediatric Solutions and Kendall Behavioral Solutions, LLC, we are building a place where families can find support, guidance, and services—all in one welcoming space.

Soon, families will have access to:
• Speech Therapy
• Feeding Therapy
• Occupational Therapy
• Behavior Therapy
• Speech Device (AAC) Assessments
• Social Skills Groups
• Parent Training & Advocacy
…and more

✨ And most importantly—these services are not just for autism.

Children with developmental delays, ADHD, anxiety, and many other needs deserve support too. If something doesn’t feel quite right, you don’t have to wait. You don’t have to figure it out alone.

🌱 This center was built for you—for every parent who wants to better understand their child, for every child who deserves to be supported, and for every family looking for a place to turn.

📍 While located in Cadiz, this is a resource for families across our entire community—you do not need to live here to be part of it.

📅 Join us at our Open House
April 24th | 5:00–7:00 PM
Come meet the providers, ask questions, and take that first step—no pressure, just support.

📞 If you’re ready, you can reach out now to Pathways or connect with our provider partners to learn more and join the list for services.

💛 Because every child deserves to be understood.
💛 And every family deserves to feel supported

It is my true honor to present the fourth 2026 Community CHIME Award to a woman whose impact reaches far beyond her title, her role, or even her organization — Cookie West.

Cookie serves as the Community and Public Relations Specialist at the Jefferson County Board of Developmental Disabilities, but to our community, she is so much more than that. She is a connector. A champion. A steady voice of encouragement. And above all, an unwavering advocate for people of all abilities.

Cookie leads with inclusion at the center of everything she does. In every room she enters, she creates belonging. She sees people. She values diversity. She ensures that everyone feels heard — not just acknowledged, but genuinely understood.

Cookie empowers everyone around her — families, colleagues, community partners, and most importantly, individuals with disabilities. She reminds us that inclusion is not an initiative. It is a responsibility. And it begins with each of us.

Cookie West embodies the very spirit of the Community CHIME Award. A fierce advocate, a trusted friend, a disability ally, and a true mentor.

Please join me in celebrating and congratulating this incredible leader and champion of inclusion Miss Cookie West of Jefferson County Board of DD.
