Re: PROMPT Workshop in Florida

[Guest guest]

Alba,

May I pass this along to several professional and advocacy boards? I

moderate a list serve for parents and professionals of children with

disabilities and we have several strong advocactes in Florida on our

list, as well as special ed attorneys and medical field.

I also advocate through our state advocacy office for disabilities.

I would like to put it on our private list serve for others to pass

along.

thanks,

Brigett

Brigett,

Please do and thank you so much for offering!! I welcome anyone that

wants to help get the word out about this.

I really want to see people from all over the state come to this and

future workshops. I plan to bring all of the Prompt workshops to the

area as well as others that will be beneficial to therapists treating

apraxia and the families!

You may also want to mention to folks that there is going to be a Talk

Tools workshop in Ft. Lauderdale in late January. There is more info

on their website. This is great for those who are interested in

helping those with oral motor weakness, dysarthria, feeding issues, etc.

Brigett, thank you again for your kind offer. I appreciate it so very

much!!
