Past conference session topics have included:

• Education
• Early Intervention
• Family, Self-Care and Wellness
• Health Care, Nutrition
• Medicaid and Private Insurance
• Long-Term Supports and Services
• Transition After High School

This year, we are also looking for presentations that focus on planning for the future. This could be financial planning, legal planning, planning for a full, inclusive life in your community, or planning for the transition to adulthood.
