Resource Fair for People with Developmental Disabilities
Event
is free and open to the public
OLYMPIA – Private,
non-profit, and governmental organizations will come together for the 21st
Annual Thurston/Mason County Resource Fair for people with special needs and
their families.
The Resource Fair
will provide individuals and families with information on a wide range of
services available in Thurston and Mason Counties, for a variety of ages.
High school students
with a developmental disability and their parent/guardian may be most
interested in learning about “life after high school”. However, families with younger children with
special needs are encouraged to attend and gather information to help them
prepare for the high school years and beyond.
“This event will
provide individuals and families with the resources they need, as well as
promote community connections and opportunities,” said Jennifer Popchockhakim,
Developmental Disabilities Program Manager.
