Walk-ins are welcome, but attendees may click here to register in advance.

Service providers at the event will provide information and answer questions about residential options, adult day programs, vocational training, post-secondary education, employment, support services, and much more. Presentations at 3:30 and 5 will cover Work Incentives Planning as well as CalABLE accounts.

Spanish interpreters and American Sign Language interpreters will be available on site.

Students who receive special education services can be medically vulnerable. Attendees should plan to stay home if they have any symptoms of illness.
