What Parents Say:
“I most enjoyed the variety of booths at the exhibition hall. They covered areas I had not had time to consider before, but now that I am aware of them, have already begun speaking with them to enroll my son into their program.”
Note: Children are welcome to visit the exhibit hall with their parents. Please understand, there are no dedicated activities for children at the fair. Children must stay with parents at all times. Sessions are for adults only whenever possible.
Finally, a very special recognition and thank you to Hema Raj Trukenbrod, founder and CEO of Pediasource, and co-founding board member of NPN’s Developmental Differences Resource Fair.
