Becky,

I am sure Christine will be sending you information about our statewide self-advocacy conferences in recent years, but I wanted to mention that besides all the great informational sessions on self-advocacy, employment, budgeting, etc. some of the most popular sessions were on: dating and relationships, how to paint a picture, chair yoga and exercise, music appreciation, iPad/Tablet/Phone apps that are helpful, and other special interest topics.

We’re planning our 2nd conference for Iowans with developmental disabilities.  Those on the planning team would like to see the list of topics or programs from other state’s conferences to get some ideas.  They received some suggestions/ideas submitted by participants after last year’s conference but would like to know what works well in other states.  So, I’m asking those of you who do state conferences if you would send me what you can so I can share it with them.  You can also send links to the websites if you wish as we are working on using the internet to get information from others Thank you  b
