Building Foundations for the Future

Join us for our Spring Parent University, an informative and empowering event designed for caregivers of individuals with neurological differences. This year’s focus is on helping families understand how the skills, supports, and decisions made today can shape successful outcomes in adulthood.

Whether your child is young or preparing for life after graduation, this event will provide practical tools, resources, and forward-thinking strategies to help you plan with confidence.

What We’ll Cover

Building Skills for Long-Term Success

Learn how neuroscience and social-emotional development impact independence, self-awareness, and self-regulation. Discover what parents can work on now to support future success in college, work, and adult life.

Respite Resources & Caregiver Support

Explore practical respite options, creative support strategies, and real-world ideas to reduce caregiver stress and build sustainable systems of support for your family.
