IEP Workshops

For the first time, the Disabilities Expo will feature two free sessions on IEPs presented by representatives from IN*SOURCE. This is a great chance for parents and caregivers to learn how to support their student during IEP meetings. You will also be given the opportunity to ask questions for your specific needs.

Times:

Session 1 @ 11am

Session 2 @ 1pm

Need Childcare?

We want you to be able to focus on the session and not worry about also trying to keep an eye on your child. We’re partnering with Easterseals Arc of NEI and other volunteers to help out. All volunteers will be experienced with children and people with disabilities. Your child will still be in the same room, it will just be divided by a curtain. If your child has any support needs, you can disclose them in your registration.

You can only receive this service if you register ahead of time.

Art Exhibit and Sale

Experience art in its various forms, styles and subject matter. It is all on display to showcase the artistic talents of individuals with disabilities in northeast Indiana. Many pieces are for sale so you can continue appreciating the artist and the art at home or in your office. Don’t miss this opportunity to enjoy and shop these wonderful, artistic creations. If you would like to submit art for the exhibit, complete and return the submission form.

Game Center Sponsored by Goodwill Industries

We have jumbo checkers, ringtoss, shuffleboard, and more! We’ve worked to adapt the games to your needs. Be sure to also stop at the the YMCA and Pure Abilities booths right next to the game center for even more fun!
