I'm asking for a favor. 💙

If you've been seeing our posts about Empowered Together, would you share this one?
At this point, our biggest goal isn't selling tickets.
There aren't any tickets to sell anymore. 😂 Admission is FREE.

Our goal is getting this in front of:
💙 The parent overwhelmed by the IEP process
🍎 The teacher looking for more tools
🎓 The student entering this field
🤝 The professional looking for resources for families
💙 The caregiver who could really use some support

You might know exactly the person who needs to see this.

I really can't wait for you guys to meet everyone we've put together for Empowered Together.

We have a fantastic group of speakers coming from different areas of this community, covering topics that families and professionals are actually dealing with.
IEPs. Advocacy. Testing. Social connections. Self-care. Supporting families. Transition to adulthood. And more.

Some sessions will even run concurrently so you'll have a chance to choose what is most useful to YOU.
And we're making the entire conference FREE to attend.

🤝 Social confidence & relationships
🗣️ Behavior & communication
🌱 Transition to adulthood

Tell us below!
And conveniently… you might hear about quite a few of these at Empowered Together on November 7. 😉

Why did we decide to make Empowered Together free?

Honestly, the answer is pretty simple.
If a parent walks away with ONE piece of information that helps their child…
If a teacher learns ONE strategy that helps a student…
If someone meets ONE person who connects them with a resource they didn't know existed…

I'd rather have them in the room.

That's what this conference was supposed to be about from the beginning.
So we're taking the ticket price out of the equation.
Now we just need to get the word out. 💙
