All Born-In 2008
Janette and I have been blogging almost a year now. In that first month of blogging, April 2007, I attended a fantastic conference focused on inclusion for children that experience disabilities. Janette had attended the year before. We both agreed the conference was informative, inspirational, and helpful.
As Janette and I prepare to celebrate 1 year of blogging, All Born In also swings back around for its 3rd year here in Portland, Oregon. A friend of mine (and one of my former carpoolers for Partners In Policymaking) is one of the organizers. She, Angela, the Northwest Down Syndrome Association, and several generous sponsors and stakeholders have put together another great day of speakers and workshops. This is a great opportunity for us – parents, families, educators, professionals, and self-advocates – to retool and get charged up about school and community inclusion.
Here are the details & a link to the registration form. Definitely check it out and attend if you can:
All Born In - Saturday, April 26th (8:30am - 5:30pm)
Portland State University campus
