We would love to see all of our families and providers collaborating and learning together, and we will. Above all is our desire to abide by the recommendations about groups of people gathering and also to not ask families who have children or youth with special needs to put themselves and their families at risk.
Please continue to follow us on all platforms for continued updates on the Summit and other valuable resources.
