Dear Reader!

Happy Fall! 🍂

As the leaves start to turn and the air gets cooler, we’re feeling especially grateful for this wonderful community of families who continue to learn, advocate, and grow together.

We have a few exciting opportunities coming up this month that we’d love for you to be part of:

Being a Parent Self Advocate

This Thursday we’re thrilled to welcome Representative Kim Hicks for a special discussion on being a self-advocate alongside your child.

Kim will share her personal journey as a parent of children with extra needs and how advocacy has shaped her family’s experiences.

Register by emailing Maggie: carescoordinator@rtaaf.org

Exciting News!!!

Change is also in the air behind the scenes, we’ve been working on something special that reflects how much our community and our organization has grown and where we’re headed next.
