Special Needs In My City conducts Health and Wellness conference offers unique update for parents, caregivers and special needs professionals and others who care for children and adults with developmental disabilities and complex care needs.
SNIMC has been conducting this educational conference since 2019. We invite physicians, psychologists, educators and special needs parents to share their expertise and experiences.
We make sure that the topics presented are of high interest to our special needs families.
Previous years topics have featured discussions on sleep, Autism/Down Syndrome dual diagnosis, mindfulness, mental health issues in children, family, marriage counseling and parent panels.
Due to continuing concerns of Covid-19 pandemic, we will continue to offer the conference in virtual format. The sessions will be recorded and made available to registrants one week after the Conference.
If you would like to be notified of our upcoming 2022 Health and Wellness Conference in October, 2022, please request to be added to the mailing list by emailing Claudia, claudiav@snimc.org and we’ll be sure to send you the registration link.
The event is Free to participants. Thanks to our generous sponsors.
