As we all adapt to life during the pandemic, this year's event is free of charge and will be held online over Zoom. Our goal is to bring inspiring speakers and practical information to families of children and youth with special health needs or disabilities and the professionals who serve them. We hope that this format will allow greater accessibility for all our attendees.
This year our theme is "Imagine, Inspire, Innovate" and we are featuring two wonderful Keynote speakers. On day one, Rachel Callander will join us from Australia to speak about "Life, Love and Awesomeness: The Impact and Implications of Language" and on day two, Karen Gaffney will speak about overcoming limitations and about what can be accomplished with positive expectations. Both Rachel and Karen will surely inspire you!
We have a fabulous line-up of 6 workshops on topics including: a special 2-hour workshop on using the "Charting the Life Course" tool, Resiliency and Self-care, Transition to Adulthood from both the young adult and parent perspectives, navigating Care Conferences, and Anxiety/Worry with our Puppets in Education program! There will also be an opportunity for parents to chat over lunch.
