Have you been looking for an advocate to attend your child's school and 504/IEP meetings? Hoping to connect with someone who is experienced and knowledgable on your child's educational rights and the requirements of school districts to uphold those rights? Worried about your child transitioning from school and wondering what is available to them in our community? Consider attending our September Meeting, this Saturday September 12th at 6PM, to hear and speak with John Ruggles, Information Specialist and Trainer at Ohio Coalition for the Education of Children with Disabilities.

Our meetings are completely free and open to the public with a family friendly atmosphere. We have a small library, media room, and play room in the back to allow for safe and inclusive socialization. We also have "busy boxes" available if you would prefer your child to stay at your table with you. Families with children of all ages are encouraged to attend!

We are doing multiple baskets but I’m really wanting to feature Shopping Small one with your items showing your support and a chance to show off your hard work. We are also looking for individual donations to help fill the other themed baskets as well. They can be bought or made.
Please feel free to message the group or Beth Swanner for any donations or ideas on how you can assist.
