Forsyth County Public Library announced today that its Special Needs Resource Fair will be hosted online, rather than in-person, this year. The event will be held on Saturday, October 24 and will feature presentations and question-and-answer sessions with twelve local organizations that provide services and activities for children and adults with special needs.
“This event has become such an important resource for local parents and caregivers who want to find better ways to help their family members live more full and healthy lives, so we want to continue giving those families a simple way to find and connect with organizations that can help,” says Jennifer Forbes, an Information Specialist at the Hampton Park Library who organized the event.
This year’s Special Needs Virtual Resource Fair will be presented online in a webinar format where participants can enter and exit as needed, so they see the presentations that are most valuable to their specific situations.
The morning session will begin at 10:00 a.m. and include presentations from Forsyth County Parks and Recreation's Therapeutic Recreation Department, Girl Scouts, North Georgia Equine in Motion – Hippotherapy, Forsyth County Schools Special Education, Forsyth Autism and Special Needs Support Group, and Alexsander Academy.
The afternoon session will begin at 2:00 p.m. and include presentations from Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities, Focus on Function Occupational Therapy, Boy Scouts, Parent Advocate Debbie Dobbs, Forsyth County Sheriff's Office and Sign, Baby, Sign.
Participation in the Special Needs Virtual Resource Fair is free and a full schedule of speakers is available on the library’s website.
