Family Support for the Earliest Years

Welcome to New Path

Becoming a parent is a wonderful and life-changing experience! From first smiles to tiny milestones, every moment matters. But when you're facing questions about your child’s development, knowing where to turn can feel overwhelming.

That’s where New Path comes in.

New Path is The Arc of Virginia’s statewide initiative supporting families of infants and toddlers (birth to age 3) with developmental delays or disabilities. We believe families are the most important voice in a child’s life—and they deserve support, education, and advocacy as they navigate Early Intervention services. New Path focuses on offering peer-to-peer support designed to empower, educate, and connect families.

Dear Parents , I want to reassure you that you are not alone on this journey. As a parent who has navigated Early Intervention myself, beginning the day my son came home from the NICU at just four weeks old, I deeply understand the challenges you may be facing. I remember feeling overwhelmed, isolated, and discouraged, grappling with guilt over the struggles my son was experiencing. Without the support of Early Intervention Services, I truly cannot imagine where we would be today.

I am here to support you as you navigate your “New Path”, providing you with access to resources and information that will enhance your family’s well-being. New Path is committed to being by your side every step of the way.
