Parent Voice Summit
The Parent Voice Summit is a two-day event aimed providing a platform for parents to come together, share their experiences, and learn valuable information and skills related to their role as advocates and supporters of their children.
The event will feature keynote speakers, panel discussions, workshops, and interactive sessions designed to foster dialogue and conversation, provide resources, and encourage collaboration among parents, educators, policymakers, and other stakeholders.
On September 29, the focus is on the transition to adulthood for youth with disabilities or special health care needs. This session aims to help parents navigate the challenges and opportunities that arise during this critical phase. The session is limited to a maximum of 50 participants, ensuring a more intimate and interactive environment.
On September 30, the session shifts its focus to advocacy, participation in decision-making groups, and parent networking. This day-long event offers parents the opportunity to develop their advocacy skills, learn about relevant policies and legislation, and explore avenues for actively participating in decision-making processes that affect their children's lives. Additionally, parent networking allows for valuable connections, shared experiences, and the formation of supportive communities. This session can accommodate up to 100 participants, fostering a larger gathering for knowledge sharing and collaboration.
The Parent Voice Summit aims to empower parents, equip them with essential information and skills, and create a supportive network where they can learn from one another and collectively advocate for the needs and rights of their children.
