A quote from a parent who attended last year's conference:

"Real, from the heart. The whole audience could make a connection."

The 2012 Visions of Community conference will feature 35 workshops in multiple languages, on a range of topics including the IEP process, advocacy, transition, & recreation, and showcasing more than 75 exhibitors. This is also a great time to network with other families and pick up free resources.

Visions of Community 2012 conference is sponsored by the Parent Training & Information Project, Recruitment, Training and Support Center, Family TIES of Massachusetts, and Project Launch/My Child - all projects at the Federation for Children with Special Needs. In addition, the Federation is proud to have the Early Intervention Parent Leadership Project, Massachusetts Families Organizing for Change, and the Parent/ Professional Advocacy League, as partners and co-sponsors for the conference.
