Day Dreaming about the Accessibility Summit, 2012
With its cold weather and limited daylight hours, January is not my favorite month. So I’ve been using the 2012 Accessibility Summit at McLean Bible Church (in Washington, DC) as a coping mechanism.
Day Dreaming About the Accessibility Summit
When the cold and dark close in and I go a little crazy, an almost daily event, I day dream about being at the conference April 20-21. I day dream of being in DC with the cherry blossoms in bloom. I day dream about Temple Grandin’s mother, Eustacia Cutler, (she’s this year’s keynote speaker) coming up to me and saying, “Jolene, I love your books. Would you autograph my copies?”
Day Dreaming About Meeting You
But mostly, I day dream about meeting parents of kids with special needs attending the conference for a good dose of encouragement, fellowship, and information. That is the best part of the conference, and I would love, LOVE, L-O-V-E to meet you there. (If arranging care for your child is an issue, the conference has special needs child care available.) So hop over to the Accessibility Summit Website to learn more about child care, the keynote speaker Eustacia Cutler, featured musician Patrick Henry Hughes, and the 30+ workshops conducted by speakers with a wide variety of expertise. (My workshop about time management and setting priorities is located in the Family & Caregiver track.)
Washington DC is a long way from home for many, but this conference is an amazing opportunity for those on the East Coast. McLean Bible Church is a leader in special needs ministry, and their staff is available throughout the conference to answer questions and share their expertise.
What Are You Day Dreaming About?
If you’re going to the conference, leave a comment so we can figure out how to get together. If you can’t attend, describe what you day dream about to keep from going crazy during January. In any case, think spring. It’s less than two months away!
