The objective of our forum is to raise awareness of

agencies, and individual entities that can assist families in accessing valuable

resources for their family members.

The evening will include presentations on:

.. Special education and special recreation

.. Government benefits, guardianship and futures planning

.. Legal rights

.. Independent Service Coordination: Entering the system to qualify for services

.. Current legislation

There also will be opportunities for questions & answers and discussions among

family members.

important step in improving opportunities for those with cognitive disabilities.
