In December 2011, Through the Looking Glass and its National Center for Parents with Disabilities was awarded a five-year $2.5 million dollar federal grant to conduct research, training and provide consultations and materials regarding families in which an infant, child, parent or grandparent has a disability. In the United States, it is estimated that 28.9% of families (20.9 million families) have at least one member with a disability: 3.9 % of families have at least one child with a disability and 6.1% of families with children have one or both parents with a disability.

Through the Looking Glass is looking for an Early Childhood Education/Center Director for its new Early Head Start Program in Alameda County. TLG is a Berkeley based and internationally recognized program serving children and families with disabilities. This is an opportunity to help develop and implement what is expected to be a model program for serving parents, children and families with disabilities in Early Head Start.
