By Daily Democrat Staff, Daily Democrate 03/20/2009
Fiesta Educativa, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the advancement and rehabilitation of Latinos with special developmental needs, invites community members to attend its mini-conference, which features two workshops presented by Disability Rights California.
The mini-conference, held in collaboration with Dingle Elementary School and the Yolo Family Resource Center, will take place from 9 a.m. to noon, Saturday, May 23, at Dingle Elementary School, 625 Elm St., Woodland. The workshop topics include a discussion of parent/child rights and how to prepare for your child's education. The conference will be held entirely in Spanish.
There will be a continental breakfast, exhibitor fair, raffles and limited childcare. There is no cost to attend this event. However, space is limited and pre-registration is required.
To register please contact Amalia Leyva at 668-6411 or Josie Enriquez at 406-7221.
Fiesta Educativa was founded more than 30 years ago by parents and professionals committed to working together to provide families with resources to gain access to services, so that their family members with disabilities can be fully integrated into the community.
