The Weekly "Let's Talk!" Legislative Update Series is Back for '25!
The Florida Legislature is back in session, and that means The Family Cafe “Let’s Talk!” Legislative Update Series is back too!
The Family Cafe believes that it’s critical for people with disabilities, their families, and advocates to stay informed about what’s happening in Tallahassee. That’s why we host a weekly Zoom session to share updates and answer questions every Friday at 4:00 ET throughout the sixty-day legislative session!
The first meeting for 2025 is set for Friday, March 7th at 4:00 ET.
Check back here for links to the recording of each installment as they occur!
The 2024 Questions & Answers Book
The latest edition of The Family Cafe Questions & Answers Book is here!
Every year at The Annual Family Cafe, we collect questions and comments about Florida’s disability service system from attendees. We then share those questions and comments with disability-serving state agencies, and publish their responses in our annual Q&A Book.
If you’re looking for solid answers to common questions about how things work in Florida, The Family Cafe Questions & Answers Book is a great place to start! If you attended The 26th Annual Family Cafe this past June, you’ll get a copy in the mail soon. You can also find the whole thing online here on our website!

Donate to The Family Café
Since 1998, The Family Café has been connecting Floridians with disabilities and their families with information, training, resources, and networking opportunities. The families that came together to create The Family Café, and our signature event, The Annual Family Café, believed that by coming together, Florida families could support each other, connect each other with critical resources, and build inclusive, disability-friendly communities.
To realize our vision of a future where people with disabilities are truly valued, we rely on the investment of those that share our beliefs. If you want to help us build a future where people with disabilities can thrive in their communities, we invite you to support our work my making a donation today.
