Who:                  Parents, educators and professionals with interest in the special educational needs of
students in the early childhood, elementary, middle and high schools of the North Shore and beyond

Mary College, Angie Quartana, self-advocate and student at Mt. Mary College, Laura Owens, Director of Creative Employment Opportunities and Sofia Walz-Chojnacki, self-advocate and employed citizen.  They will offer their perspective to lead our discussion on life after high school.
