You Are Invited To A RCSN Movie Preview Event June 21st – To Rome With Love
Take me to the fair, take me to the fair, don’t know anywhere I would rather be
Every time I think of the cornucopia of special needs fairs coming up over the next few months I want to do a little dance (if you don’t get the Elvis reference above, that’s okay). I recently sent an apologetic email in which I confused the Family and Professional Resources Fair with the Special Needs Camp Fair, which read: Only in NYC are there enough special needs fairs to get them confused – amazing!
And amazing is the perfect word to describe not one, not two but all three fairs coming up this Fall/Winter. I plan to attend all of them, even if I have to drag all 3 of my kids along (though I’m really hoping this is not the case) and hope to see you there as well!

Creating a Meaningful Life after High School: Keynote Event June 6, 2011
Just passing along an email I received earlier today. This looks like a really excellent event for parents and special needs young adults. James is not quite here yet but I think about this topic all the time and would love to attend this panel discussion, and hope someone can benefit from this information:
Steven Morales graduated from the AHRC New York City Melissa Riggio Higher Education program at Kingsborough Community College in May 2010. He now works as a film production assistant, and contributes to the important mission of a vibrant non-profit organization in Manhattan.
Every parent wants their children to realize their dreams.
On Monday June 6, all parents and professionals have a chance to hear from leaders in the field of individualized supports about how to help their children design a meaningful life at this free event. Parents will learn how to explore and build on their young person’s passions and abilities, and design person-centered supports to help young adults live a life they choose, not one defined by their disability.
This is a chance for all parents to get a glimpse of the amazing possibilities that can be achieved through person-centered planning–and to understand the public funding streams available to support this work.
Steven Morales will be there to tell his story as well–together with Lisa Severino, a young staff member with the Self-Advocacy Association of New York State who has been living in supported housing with HeartShare for the past seven years, and Todd Irby-Rannair, a 2005 graduate of the Manhattan Occupational Training Center now working at a midtown law firm.
Please forward to any parents or professionals you know who might need this vital information. (Printable PDF here.) The event is free, but seating is limited. Online registration strongly recommended! Registered attendees will receive a free publication at the event.
