We are fortunate to have wonderful providers and organizations in our area who understand the importance of inclusion and prioritize accessible activities and services. We are so pleased to host this event with local and school-based therapeutic services, adult transition services, speech & occupational therapists, karate classes … there will be something for everyone. All are welcome! We hope you’ll come by, see what these organizations and providers are about, and get some helpful information about their services,” said Beth Cosentino, SEPAC SOMA President.
