Special Connections Roanoke

☀️ A week full of connection, confidence, and FUN! 💙
There aren’t always a lot of resources out there for our deaf and hard of hearing friends, so we got excited when we learned about Signs of Fun Summer Camp in Spotsylvania, VA! 🤟✨

This week-long camp for individuals ages 3–18 offers a fun, welcoming space filled with activities, friendships, and community. It may not be in Roanoke, but it’s close enough for a whole lot of fun and meaningful connections! 💛

Support can make all the difference in the early years. 💜

If you’re caring for a young child with developmental delays, disabilities, or additional support needs, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Join PEATC’s Connecting the Dots webinar to learn about the New Path Family Support Network, a program of The Arc of Virginia that provides family-centered support, resources, information, and connection for caregivers of young children.

Together, we’ll explore how building a strong circle of support can help families feel informed, connected, and empowered.
