It has a 'work in progress' feel. Love the web site. This will be a major part of my life from here on out. I hope to educate our legislators and other families. I am willing to do whatever needs to be done to help.
Pictures Here are some pictures taken at the conference of many of the presenters.
Carolyn Knight, Executive Director of the Ohio Legal Rights Service, welcomed conference participants, most of whom are parents of children with disabilities. Carolyn stressed the goals of this working conference where everybody's input would be asked for and welcomed. Collete Adams sits next to Carolyn. Collete Adams, a parent and member of the Ohio DD Council and the FSC, introduced the FSCard Game in which conference participants were each dealt a hand of Family Support Service Cards and then traded for what they needed - until the rules were changed in the middle of the game and Wild Cards and Bad News Cards were thrown in. The rousing Keynote Speech was given by Patti Hackett, a parent, long-time disability rights activist, and consultant.
