Individuals with Special Needs Sought to Demonstrate Social Media Tools

Family to Family Iowa is looking for young presenters (middle-school age through age 25) who can demonstrate how to use a form of social media (blogging, Facebook, Twitter, etc.) to adults attending the spring Family to Family conference held April 27-28 in Johnston, Iowa. Because Family to Family Iowa is a statewide network of navigators who provide assistance to families of children with special needs (developmental, behavioral, emotional, physical), the presenters would preferably have a special need. Parents or teachers are welcome to accompany and support presenters. Presenters will sit at tables and demonstrate to groups of about 10 persons at a time for about 20 minutes. The time of the presentation will be 2:30 p.m. to 3:45 p.m. on Thursday, April 28.

For more information or to nominate a young presenter, please contact Cheryl Risen at crisen@aea11.k12.ia.us or 515-270-0405 ext. 14587 by April 7.
