 Message from
Mindi Axner
Executive Director
The day has arrived - February 1st - LiveSpecial.com is live! LiveSpecial.com will allow individuals with special needs and their families to identify doctors, dentists, therapists, financial planners and many others professionals to find supportive services. This site currently has information on over 800 providers in the Northeast Ohio area. Please take a few minutes to see what the incredible team of volunteers and staff has created by clicking on www.livespecial.com. This is only the first phase of the vision for this project, which is why on April 17th we will be hosting an incredible evening of great food, fun and entertainment at Executive Caterers at Landerhaven. In addition, we will be honoring Elaine Eisner and Scott Gohn for making this idea a reality, and Dr. Steven Wexberg for all he has done both personally and professionally in the field of special needs. For more information on this event and how you may participate, you can visit the site www.livespecial.com and look under "In The News". I look forward to seeing you on April 17th.
