“We invite everyone—not just from across the state but around the region—who works in some capacity with people with disabilities to attend the Spring Symposium,” said Wendy Parent-Johnson, Center for Disabilities executive director. “This unique symposium, besides the training and breakout sessions, also includes a forum where those in attendance can share their knowledge and experience and also participate in a community conversation everyone can benefit from.”
