Conference    Highlights

Keynote Speaker: Lee Jones

Everyone, whether they have a disability or not, has the right to have their very own dreams. Dreams let you explore the future without being tied to what is reasonable or expected. But at some point, it is important to turn your most important dreams into reality. Lee shares his experience as both a person with dreams and a person with down syndrome to explain the benefits of setting goals and not letting words like “reasonable expectations” stand in the way.

Breakout Sessions Include:

  • Vocational Rehabilitation
  • Transition to College
  • Estate Planning for Special Needs
  • Transition and Autism
  • “It’s My Future” (a workshop for students)
  • Community Services Panel
  • Transition and the IEP
  • Behavior in Teens
  • … and more
