The Discussion

Submitted on November 30th, 2009 by Kevin Lusignan

It was a well attended evening and recieved well by parents. We started with a potluck supper and then discussed the issue of work for our family members who have intellectual disabilities. We kept track of what families think on the subject and we will be reporting out soon. We have a facebook group site - please be our friend.
