SETX Self Advocates Give Back
In April, SETX Self Advocates joined together to help clean up city streets by participating in the Beaumont Trash Off. This project allowed Self Advocates to serve their community while enjoying the company of their peers. "It felt good to help clean up Beaumont" said Self Advocate Mary MacNiven, "it was a lot of hard work but we made it fun and in the end the street we cleaned up looked awesome!" The SETX Self Advocates goal is to improve the quality of life for people living with disabilities in Southeast Texas through leadership, education, and community service opportunities.

2014 Overcoming Obstacles Conference
Save the Date -Saturday, September 27th 2nd Annual Arc Conference
 The Arc in coordination with Region 5 Education Service Center's Special Education Department is excited to announce the 2nd annual Overcoming Obstacle conference is scheduled for Saturday, September 27th from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm. This year's Key Note speaker will be Texas Parent2Parent transitions specialist, Dr. Rosemary Alexander. Dr. Alexander has worked with families of children with disabilities for nearly 30 years, most recently at Austin Independent School District, here she provided support and information to hundreds of families concerning special education issues, resources, and transition to adulthood. Dr. Alexander's experience with her 32-year old son, who has significant disabilities, taught her about the gifts that people with disabilities have to offer. Based on that experience she works for high quality of life for her son and other families' sons and daughters after graduation. Dr Alexander has an MA and PhD in English. Dr. Alexander's talk will explain why planning for adulthood is key by telling about her family's efforts to create a good life for their son Will as an adult. It will also include ideas, resources and tools for working on the future of your son or daughter. For more information on the 2014 Overcoming Obstacles Conference click here. |
