GPS FOR LIFE: NAVIGATING THE FUTURE
The Family Support Conference is an annual event for parents, family members and others who have a loved one with a developmental disability in their life. It's a chance for people to share their experiences, learn about resources in the community, and exchange strategies for overcoming the unique challenges every family supporting a child with a developmental disability faces. A keynote speaker and relevant break-out sessions help make the event a valuable resource for parents, family members, teachers, care givers and others.
Special accommodations are available. If you need a sign language interpreter, contact Theresa Fears at (509) 328-6326. To learn more about scholarship assistance or childcare, contact Roz Bethmann at (509) 328-6326.
