Families and caregivers work hard to help enable the best life possible for persons with Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities. Often they are not aware of all the techniques and strategies available to help.
Options Imagined is hosting this event as an informational offering. Options Imagined does not endorse any specific approach nor does it endorse any specific provider. That having been said, we are pleased to sponsor an event where 2 licensed professionals will share the strategies available and answer questions.
