To all, We are a group of professionals who are putting together a free mini conference in St. George for families of children with disabilities. Please see the attached flyer about the classes. We’re really hoping to get as much attendance as possible to this mini-conference.. but we need your help…we would appreciate it if you could contact families and let them know about it and encourage them to go…the information presented will be valuable!   (This conference is given through a grant from Utah State University)
