The 2014 Family Conference Was Great!

The 16th Family Conference on Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Disabilities was a roaring success. Nearly 150 parents, self-advocates, vendors, presenters, and UCP staff members came together for two days of speakers, workshops, and connections. 

Our keynote speaker, Julie Keon, shared “Ten Pearls of Wisdom Gained in Ten Years” with the group.  One mom wrote that “it was a great opening topic…allowed me to connect, feel accepted, and that I was among friends who share my struggle.” Another said that Julie’s words went “straight to my heart.”

There were also 14 workshops on such topics as Low & High Tech Communication; Adaptive Play/Recreation; Custom Orthotics; K Plan; Treatments for CP; and Sibling Support.

The Family Support Conference is held bi-annually (every other year). Plans are already underway for our October 2016 conference. If you missed this year’s conference, you want to be sure to attend the next one!
