What a great group we had for April 8!  The speaker was Chris Filler from OCALI and the topic was transition, job search and after school……a lot to cover!  There is never enough time to talk about all of the things at a meeting like this, but we did get great materals to take home!  OCALI is known for a lot of things and the materials that they have for parents and professionals are absolutely amazing!  Thank you to Chris for bringing new materials and updates to us!
