Description
Recording of the 4/27/2021 Special Education Parent Resource Fair.
A
So,
thank
you
all
so
much
for
joining
us
tonight.
It
is
wonderful
to
see
so
many
of
you
logged
on
here.
My
name
is
kelly
raff.
I
am
the
director
of
special
education
here
in
beaverton,
and
I
am
thrilled
to
welcome
you
all.
This
is
our
third
annual
special
education
parent
resource
fair.
This
event
is
put
on
by
the
special
education
department
in
conjunction
with
our
special
education
parent
advisory
council.
A
A
number
of
our
members
which
who
are
here
tonight
and
our
council
is
made
up
of
parents
across
all
levels
and
representing
the
different
special
education
programs
in
our
district.
The
mission
of
the
special
education
parent
advisory
council
is
to
support
parents
and
educators
to
advocate
for
the
developing
needs
of
our
students.
A
If
you
are
interested
in
learning
more
about
the
sped
parent
advisory
council
or
possibly
joining
next
year,
we
recruit
new
members
every
year.
Please
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
kim
walsh
it's
my
assistant
who
emailed
you
with
tonight's
zoom
link
and
information,
and
we
are
happy
to
get
you
more
information,
and
I
want
to
give
a
special
shout
out
and
thank
you
to
all
of
the
amazing
parent
advisory
council
members.
Who've
helped
put
this
on
tonight
and
helped
identify
organizations
that
would
be
of
value
to
their
fellow
fellow
parents.
A
We
are
just
so
lucky
to
have
such
an
amazing
group
of
parents
to
work
with,
and
I
feel
very
blessed
to
know
all
of
them
and
and
get
their
input
and
feedback
and
insight
every
month
that
we
meet.
So
we
are
thrilled
to
offer
this
fair
again
this
year
now
in
our
zoom
format,
instead
of
in
person
we're
so
appreciative
of
all
the
presenters
here
today
who
will
be
able
to
share
with
you
information
about
their
organizations
and
services.
A
You
should
be
able
to
see
the
link
on
the
screen
and
we'll
get
it
into
the
chat
for
you
as
well.
There
are
also
several
highlighted
organizations
that
are
not
presenting
here
tonight
for
you
to
check
out
as
well.
In
particular,
I'd
encourage
you
to
check
out
the
beaverton
stars,
which
is
a
color
guard
team
made
up
of
students
from
middle
and
high
schools
here
in
beaverton.
A
B
A
We
go
introduction
of
music
rhythms,
dance
and
the
use
of
equipment
to
tell
a
story.
They
can
be
seen
performing
at
various
events
in
washington,
county
and
the
portland
metro
area,
and
you
can
check
out
a
link
to
their
performances
in
the
program.
So
I
hope
you
guys
will
take
a
minute
to
do
that.
They're,
amazing.
Normally
we
would
have
them
present
in
person
if
we
were
live
together,
but
hopefully
next
year
we'll
be
back.
C
A
We
have
15
presenters,
we've
had
a
couple
changes
to
the
presentation,
but
each
will
share
their
screen
for
three
to
five
minutes,
to
give
you
a
brief
overview
of
their
organization
and
services
at
7
30
or
whenever
we
get
done
with
those
presentations,
we'll
open
breakout
rooms.
For
you
to
visit
and
ask
questions
of
the
presenters,
we
are
going
to
start
off
our
oregon,
able
savings
plan.
Participants
are,
unfortunately,
were
ill
and
not
able
to
join
us,
so
we
are
going
to
start
off
with
heather
eason
from
camp
yakitiak.
A
B
Up,
do
you
see
the
camp
yeah
yeah
we're
going
there?
Okay
hi.
My
name
is
heather
easton
and
I'm
one
of
the
directors
of
camp
yakitiak.
We
were
founded
back
in
2010,
so
we
are
going
into
our
11th
year
and
you
can
see
we
started
with
a
bunch
of
kids
in
a
backyard,
and
this
was
our
last
camp.
We
had
in
2019
with
staff
and
campers
from
our
last
our
last
week,
so
we've
gotten
pretty
big.
We
are
a
non-profit,
a
501c3.
B
B
B
We
have
several
programs.
Our
general
camp
is
ages
5
to
11..
We
have
buddies,
which
is
our
more
medically
fragile,
higher
needs.
Campers
and
their
age
5
to
11.
junior
camp
counselors
are
our
middle
school
program.
12
to
15
and
yak
apprentice
is
a
program
that
we
piloted
two
years
ago
and
are
happy
to
say
it
was
a
big
hit.
That's
ages,
16
to
22.
B
75
of
our
campers
have
special
needs
and
25
percent
are
neurotypical
peers
and
siblings.
Some
camp
staff-
children,
like
I
said
siblings,
of
other
campers,
with
special
needs
and
just
people
that
love
the
camp-
that
like
like
the
diversity
that
camp
camp
has
we
put
campers
on
color
teams
and
they're
broken
down
into
age.
Age
ranges
sometimes
if
a
camper
might
do
well
with
younger
campers
or
older
campers,
we
get
a
sense
for
that,
usually
in
the
first
day
or
so,
and
then
adjust
as
needed.
B
B
B
B
B
B
We
have
an
end
of
day
assembly
and
then
pickup
is
at
three
to
three
ten.
We
are
having
tons
of
coveted
safety
protocols
we're
following
all
of
the
cdc
recommendations
as
well
as
mandates
by
the
governor
as
they
roll
out.
We
did
not
have
camp
last
year.
We
did
not
feel
we
had
time
to
to
make
a
decision
on
whether
we
could
safely
pull
off
camp
we've
reduced
the
size
of
camp
greatly.
We
typically
have
100
220
campers
a
week
and
we're
maxing
out
at
70.
B
A
D
E
E
We
see
your
presenter
screen
so
you're,
good,
okay,
awesome.
Thank
you.
So
much
appreciate
that.
So
again
my
name
is
molly
williamson
and
I
am
here
with
fact
oregon
and
we
are
oregon's
parent
training
and
information
center,
which
means
that
we
are
funded
through
the
office
of
special
education
programs,
the
u.s
department
of
education
to
support
families
across
the
entire
state
of
oregon
in
understanding
special
education
services.
What
they
are,
how
best
to
be?
E
You
know
their
child's
number
one
fan
and
advocate,
and
we
do
that
in
a
myriad
of
different
ways.
We
also
whoops.
I
just
jumped
around
a
bit
sorry
about
that.
We
also
partner
closely
with
the
oregon
department
of
education.
Although
we
you
know,
are
subject
matter
experts
when
it
comes
to
special
education
services,
we
also
support
families
with
anything
that
has
to
do
with
disability.
E
We
help
parents
participate
effectively
in
their
child's
education
and
their
development,
and
then
we
also
partner
with
professionals
and
policy
makers
to
improve
the
outcomes
right
for
the
children
for
all
of
the
children
in
oregon
that
experience,
disability
and
we
help
families
access
all
of
those
things.
A
few
of
the
ways
that
we
do
this,
and
really
we
do
this
through
expanding
awareness
with
families,
through
the
belief
that
disability
is
a
natural
part
of
the
human
experience.
E
We
offer
information
of
resources
and
we
have
our
support
line
to
help
answer
questions,
and
this
is
kind
of
what
our
support
process
looks
like
and
we'll
go
through
that
real
quick-
and
this
is
really
where
we
get
to
dive
in
one
on
one
and
and
really
support
families,
specifically
with
what
they're
experiencing
what
they're
going
through.
What
their
questions
concerns
are.
So
any
of
our
family
resource
specialists
can
provide
support,
doesn't
matter
where
you're
at
in
oregon.
E
So
not
only
do
we
have
the
experience
of
walking
through
it
with
our
young
people,
but
we
also
have
the
experience
of
supporting
hundreds
and
hundreds
of
families
across
the
state,
so
we're
really
able
to
dive
in
deep
and
and
figure
out
how
to
support
you
with
next
steps.
So
the
way
that
you
reach
out
to
us
is
either
by
giving
us
a
phone
call
or
emailing
us.
I
will
share
very
openly
that
we
are
all
working
remotely,
which
is
so
nice,
but
also
a
little
bit
difficult.
E
You
will
have
to
leave
a
voicemail
for
us
and
then
we
we
will
reach
back
out
to
you.
So
no
one
is
answering
our
phone
live,
but
that
doesn't
mean
that
we're
not
getting
your
message
in
a
timely
manner.
So
then
a
fact,
a
staff
member
will
either
receive
your
email
take
down.
You
know
the
general
information
that
you
share
in
the
email
or
pull
up
your
voicemail.
E
You
know
get
your
number
and
all
of
the
information
that
you
provide
from
there
and
and
share
it
with
us
family
resource
specialists,
and
then
we
reach
out
within
24
to
48
hours.
Really.
I
would
say
the
majority
of
the
time
it's
within
24
hours,
whether
that's
by
emailing,
you,
if
you
emailed
us
or
giving
you
a
phone,
call
back.
We
also
because
we
are
working
remotely.
E
E
If
you
let
us
know
but
we'll
reach
out
to
you
within
24
to
48
hours,
and
then
that's
when
we
really
get
to
listen
and
provide
information
resources
support
you
with
specific
next
steps
and
help
you
really
walk
through
how
to
move
things
forward
and
in
whatever
you
know,
your
questions
or
whatever
you're
needing
support
with
when
you
reach
out
to
us,
and
so
some
of
the
ways
that
you
can
get
more
information
from
us
is
check
our
upcoming
trainings.
We
have
a
few
coming
up.
E
We
also
absolutely
understand
that
everyone
has
a
little
bit
of
zoom
fatigue
going
on
and
so
we're
we're
kind
of
you
know
cutting
back
on
that
a
little
bit
through
the
summer,
but
we
also
have
online
trainings
available
and
you
can
call
our
support
line
and
here's
how
you
can
reach
out
to
us
our
phone
number,
our
email
on
our
website.
We
have
really
great
tools
on
there.
So
thank
you.
A
Thank
you
so
much
molly
and
just
a
reminder
to
all
of
their
contact
information.
If
you
don't,
if
you
can't
see
it
on
the
screen
right
now,
it
is
all
in
the
event
program,
so
you
have
all
of
their
websites
emails
and
phone
numbers
all
right
up.
Next,
we
have
margaret
mays
from
the
oregon
family
to
family
health
information
center.
G
F
F
About
that
sorry
about
that,
my
name
is
margaret
mias
and
I'm
here
representing
the
oregon
family
to
family
health
information
center.
But
I
am
also
a
bsd
parent
myself.
I
have
two
children
at
jacob
wismer
elementary
and
the
younger.
My
daughter
is
in
first
grade
there
and
is
the
reason
I'm
here
today.
She
has
a
condition
called
spina
bifida,
which
is
a
birth
defect
that
primarily
affects
the
spinal
cord,
and
I
wanted
to
start
by
letting
you
know
a
little
bit
about
what
the
oregon
family
to
family
health
information
center
is.
F
We
are
funded
by
a
small
federal
grant
that
helps
support
families
who
have
children
or
youth
with
special
health
needs.
So
what
does
that
mean?
Exactly
the
children
in
use
of
special
health
needs
are
defined
as
those
who
have
chronic
physical,
developmental,
behavioral
or
emotional
conditions,
and
who
also
need
health
services
beyond
that
which
children
generally
require,
and
we
are
a
network
of
trained
parent
partners,
of
which
I
am
one
who
ourselves
have
children
with
special
health
needs.
So
this
is
something
we
don't
just
work
in,
but
also
live
in.
F
Our
daily
lives,
we're
located
at
ohsu's
oregon
center
for
children
and
youth
with
special
health
needs,
and
there
is
no
charge
for
our
services.
It's
all
free
and
totally
confidential,
now
a
little
bit
more
about
who
we
are
as
parent
partners
so,
like,
I
said,
we're
the
statewide
network
of
parent
partners.
F
And
sometimes
it's
just
a
matter
of
listening
letting
people
vent
and
offering
an
empathetic
ear.
We
serve
families
in
every
county
in
oregon,
from
birth
to
age
26.,
and
we
also
have
a
spanish-speaking
parent
partner.
Who
also
happens
to
be
me
now.
I
just
wanted
to
take
you
through
a
couple
of
the
typical
requests
for
assistance
and
questions
that
we
hear
when
we
speak
with
families.
F
We
also
offer
free
training,
mainly
which
are
mainly
online
nowadays,
but
hopefully
we
will
at
some
point
in
the
near
future,
reserve
resume
in-person
training.
We
have
topics
such
as
health
care,
advocacy
and
transition
to
adult
health
care,
and
finally,
our
website.
We
have
a
really
extensive
website
at
www.oregonfamilytofamily.org.
You
see
there
at
the
bottom.
It
has
all
these
tool
kits
and
tip
sheets
and
a
lot
of
other
helpful
information
and
there
honestly
there
is
a
lot
on
there
and
it
can
be
a
little
overwhelming.
F
F
The
list
goes
on
and
on-
and
I
really
love
this
one,
because
when
I
sat
down
to
fill
it
out,
I
realized
just
how
many
names
and
organizations
I
just
had
only
up
here
in
my
head
and
no
one
else
in
my
family,
not
even
my
husband
knew
them
all.
So
for
me,
it
really
helped
organize
things
in
an
at-a-glance
way,
which
is
really
helpful
to
put
on
your
refrigerator
and
finally,
I'll
just
end
with
just
a
reminder
of
some
of
the
ways
to
connect
with
us.
F
H
H
H
We
are
still
primarily
volunteer-led.
We
have
four
staff
on
site
and
each
of
us
have
lived
experiences
of
mental
illness
and
all
of
our
services
are
free.
So
we
do
not
require
you
to
submit
any
referrals
from
insurance
or
behavioral
health
providers,
which
is
really
nice.
You
literally
can
just
email
us
if
you're
interested
in
joining
a
peer
support
group,
and
we
can
get
you
connected.
H
It's
that
easy
and
we
are
actually
funded
by
a
contract
with
washington,
county
behavioral
health
to
be
providing
peer-delivered
services
within
our
community
and
I'm
just
going
to
give
a
quick
overview
of
how
we've
accommodated
with
kovid
and
sort
of
how
our
services
look
like.
This
is
a
picture
of
our
drop-in
center
and
we
are
actually
going
through
a
remodel
and
due
to
the
kova
19
restrictions,
like
probably
a
lot
of
people
here
today.
We
are
currently
not
authorized
to
be
open.
H
However,
we
did
have
a
drop
in
walk-in
center
for
folks
who
wanted
to
receive
peer
support
services,
and
we
do
adhere
to
a
trauma-informed
model
and
approach.
So
we
do
consider
ourselves
to
be
a
safe
space.
We
also
did
have
an
art
studio,
which
was
super
great
for
our
service
users.
They
were
able
to
use
art
as
a
coping
skill
to
promote
mental
health
and
well-being,
which
is
awesome,
and
we
do
hope
to
continue
that
as
covin-19
restrictions
are
lifted
in
the
near
future.
H
We
do
offer
peer
support
groups
and
those
are
being
offered
all
virtually
via
zoom
and
our
community
health
education,
and
I
will
kind
of
go
into
detail
about
what
that
entails.
We
do
a
health
presentation
called
ending
the
silence
and
that
is
offered
to
k-12
youth,
youth,
serving
organizations
or
just
general
community
members
who
are
interested
in
mental
health
and
youth.
H
We
also
do
offer
individualized
peer
support,
as
we
have
two
certified
peer
support
specialists
on
our
team.
As
of
this
time,
so
our
funding
sources
generally
come
from
small
grants,
foundation
grants
family
foundation
grants
individual
foundations.
We
also
do
get
individual
donations.
We
do
have
an
opportunity
to
get
membership
dues-
it's
not
very,
but
it
does
contribute
a
little
bit
to
the
work
that
we
are
able
to
provide
in
the
community
and
our
nami
walks.
H
Northwest
event
is
our
biggest
fundraiser
of
the
year,
and
so
what
comes
with
that
is
unrestricted
funds
that
we
are
able
to
fund
our
peer
support
services
and
invest
in
volunteer
training
to
enhance
the
quality
and
outcomes
for
our
service
users,
so
ending
the
silence.
This
is
about
an
hour-ish
presentation.
H
You
know
able
to
to
hear
stories
and
having
that
ability
to
change
views
about
a
widely
misunderstood
topic
that
still
carries
a
lot
of
stigma
in
our
society
and
I'm
sorry
that
this
looks
a
little
funky.
I
tried
my
best
to
make
it
as
readable
as
possible,
but
these
connections
groups
are
also
known
as
our
peer
support
group.
So
these
are
free
groups.
H
Anyone
can
join
as
long
as
they're
over
the
age
of
18.,
and
these
are
just
generalized
topics
that
you
know:
promote
recovery,
coping
skills
and
just
that
ability
to
share
stories
creates
a
lot
of
strength
and
it
also
builds
community.
So
we
do
have
our
groups
listed
on
here.
We
also
have
them
listed
on
our
website
as
well,
and
so
I
do
have
the
contacts
listed
below
if
each
of
you
are
interested
and
so
any
questions
please
contact
us.
I
am
transitioning
out
of
this
role,
so
I
did
include
my
new
work.
A
A
J
I
J
I
I
Most
of
you
are
familiar
with
accommodations
because
your
kids
are
already
receiving
those
in
k-12,
but
we
also,
we
have
worked
very
hard
this
past
year
to
improve
the
overall
belonging
at
pcc.
One
thing
that
phyllis
might
want
to
talk
about
is
the
spinal
cord
scholarship
that
students
can
afford
it's
a
full
ride.
Scholarship.
Did
you
want
to
cover
that.
J
J
J
J
J
Only
about
20
colleges
in
the
country
have
the
scholarship
and
it's
for
any
student
that
experiences
a
spinal
cord
injury,
including
spina
bifida,
by
the
way
so-
and
it
pays
all
tuition
and
books,
and
things
like
that.
So
that's
that's
one
example
of
some
of
the
things
that
that
we
do
and,
as
patricia
said,
one
of
our
really
our
passions
is
to
make
sure
that
every
student
feels
like
they
belong
and
she's
going
to
tell
you
about
some
of
the
things
we're
doing.
I
So
yeah
we've
said
we
had
a
few
focus
groups
with
our
students
to
ask
you
know:
what's
working,
what's
not
with
their
higher
education,
and
many
of
our
students
talked
about
feeling
othered
that
they
didn't
feel
like
they
were
really
a
part
of
the
community,
and
so
we
were
talking
about
that.
We
brought
in
some
some
students
to
take
on
the
roles
of
student
leadership
and
we
now
have
a
monthly
town
hall,
which
our
next
meeting
is
tomorrow
night.
I
It
is
led
by
students
with
disabilities
to
talk
about
campus
events.
Community
events,
this
particular
one
tomorrow,
is
going
to
be
talking
about
graduating
from
college,
and
what's
next,
someone
will
be
going
on
to
four-year
universities
and
we're
going
to
have
some
counselors
from
psu
there
to
to
answer
questions.
They
might
have
other
things
that
we've
done
is
we
just
launched?
We
just
connected
with
the
delta
alpha
pi
international
honors
society
for
students
with
disabilities.
I
So
pcc
now
offers
that
that
community
connection
for
our
students-
and
they
were
doing
having
our
first
induction
in
june,
of
our
students,
which
is
very
exciting
and
one
other
thing
that
our
students
are
really
asking
for
which
we
don't
we're
working
on.
It
hasn't
been
approved
yet,
but
we
are
really
advocating
to
get
a
disability
cultural
center
for
our
students,
where
they
have
a
place
to
gather
support
one
another
and,
like
I
said,
build
community.
So
those
are
just
a
few
of
the
really
exciting
things
we've
been
doing
this
year.
J
No,
no,
no,
you
did
great
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
if
anybody
wanted
to,
if
or
if
your
student
wants
to
go
to
a
town,
the
town
hall
tomorrow,
if
you
go
to
our
link
in
the
program
and
that
goes
to
our
page
disability
services,
it'll
show
you
how
to
get
started
with
services.
If
you
want
to,
but
also
there's
a
link
that
says
events
and
if
you
go
there
and
you
go
to
the
town
hall,
you'll
get
the
zoom
link
so
feel
free
to
join
us.
If
you
want
to
it.
I
A
L
M
L
No,
we
do
yay
there.
It
is
so
I
know
as
so.
This
is
a
special
education
resource,
fair
and
a
lot
of
you.
Parents
are
participating,
your
children
are
in
special
education,
kindergarten
through
high
school
age,
and
so
the
early
intervention
early
childhood
special
education
program
is
an
extension
of
that
program
for
the
younger
age
groups
from
zero
to
five.
It's
part
of
the
same
system.
L
Our
program
is
called
northwest
regional
education
service
district
and
we
serve
washington,
county
clackamas,
county
class
up
one
more
gender,
tillamook,
tillamook
counties
and
our
program
provides
the
zero
to
five
special
education
services
for
all
of
those
counties
and
at
zero
to
three.
That
program
is
called
early
intervention.
You
may
have
heard
that
term
early
intervention
and
at
three
to
five
is
called
early
childhood
special
education.
L
And
we
collaborate
with
a
lot
of
different
programs
in
the
area
and
we'll
talk
about
that
again
in
a
second,
but
you
might
see
special
education
teachers
out
in
your
children's
preschools
or
out
in
head
start
or
out
collaborating
with
these
different
organizations.
But
we
work
for
special
education.
L
L
Anyone
can
make
a
referral,
that's
important
to
know.
Parents
can
make
a
referral.
You
can
self-refer,
you
can
say.
Well.
I
have
concerns
about
my
child's
development,
I'm
not
sure
they're,
where
they
should
be
for
a
one-year-old,
a
two-year-old,
a
five-year-old.
Your
physician
can
make
a
referral
your
child
care.
Your
preschool
can
make
a
referral.
L
L
So
once
a
referral
is
made,
then
there's
a
screening
that
takes
place
to
see
if
your
child
would
be
a
candidate
for
a
full
evaluation
and
then
that
evaluation
is
conducted
by
a
multi-disciplinary
team
and
what
that
means
is
different
professionals.
It
might
be
a
teacher,
it
might
be
a
speech
therapist,
it
might
be
an
occupational
therapist
or
physical
therapist.
That's
getting
together
to
to
evaluate
your
child
and
see
if
they
qualify
for.
M
M
You
may
have
like
someone
like
myself,
who
is
a
teacher
or
a
speech
pathologist
or
I'm
an
occupational
therapist
or
a
physical
therapist.
We
do
parent
coaching,
we
assist
in
skill
development
in
the
routines
and
the
daily
life
of
the
child,
and
then
we
also
follow.
We
follow
a
education
plan,
called
an
individualized
family
service
plan
and
that's
what
the
acronym
ifsp
stands
for,
and
so
those
services
that
we
provide
are
all
enumerated
on
the.
M
M
L
Yeah,
ecsc
services,
early
childhood,
three
to
five.
We
are
now
starting
to
do
some
more
home
services
as
well.
If
home
coaching
is
still
what
your
family
needs
per
the
ifsp
that
we
develop,
which
is
just
like
an
iep
at
the
school
age
time,
but
we
also
go
out
and
see
kids
in
their
preschool
settings
and
their
child
care
settings
and
coach
teachers
on
how
to
work
with
children's
goals
and
and
serve
children
out
where
they
are
and
help
them
develop
their
skills
with
their
typical
peers
out
in
the
environment.
N
N
N
Some
of
the
areas
of
focus
at
ctp
include
independent
living
skills,
which
might
include
things
like
self-care
hygiene,
nutrition,
shopping
and
cooking.
We
also
have
training
and
employment
opportunities,
which
I
will
talk
about
in
the
next
slide,
education,
which
is
our
ctp
curriculum,
which
a
lot
of
that
is
focused
on
functional
skills.
You
might
have
like
functional
kind
of
academic
skills,
so
goals
for
students.
N
Another
big
part
of
our
program
is
use
of
public
transportation
and
learning
how
to
use
public
transportation,
so
students
might
learn
how
to
safely
navigate
public
transportation
on
a
daily
basis
for
personal
reasons,
employment
and
also
recreational
activities.
So
they
do
get
a
lot
of
practice
with
doing
that
within
our
program
and
then
lastly,
here
might
also
be
things
like:
leisure
skills,
learning
how
to
access
local
parks
and
rec
programs.
Things
like
that
recreational
activities
as
well.
So,
let's
get
down
to
the
next
slide
here.
N
N
We
also
have
a
variety
of
jobs
and
opportunities
and
work
experience,
opportunities
that
we
do
on
site
as
well
and
I'll
share
a
slide
with
some
of
those
in
just
a
second
but
really
a
big
part
of
it
being
the
work
experience
opportunities,
we
support
students
in
developing
their
job
profiles,
which
then
helps
to
support
them
in
job
development
and
choosing
a
job.
That
is
something
that
they're
interested
in
and
helping
them
gain
the
skills
that
they
need
to
be
able
to
do
that
job
successfully.
N
O
All
right,
so
my
name
is
caitlin
boygeri.
I
am
with
special
olympics
oregon
and
thank
you
all
so
much
for
having
me
this
evening.
Special
olympics
has
definitely
pivoted
this
last
year
during
covid,
but
I
think
we've
found
the
silver
lining
and
some
of
the
virtual
activities
that
we've
been
able
to
provide
this
year
so
just
a
little
update.
O
Let
me
figure
out
how
to
go
to
the
next
slide
here,
a
little
update
about
special
olympics
oregon
right
now
during
covid
we
are
operating
virtually
through
at
least
july.
We
hope,
late
july,
through
september,
we're
going
to
try
to
bring
back
smaller
groups
of
athletes,
probably
25
people
or
less.
You
know
into
more
of
the
activities
that
they're
they're
used
to
doing
with
their
special
olympians,
but
in
the
meantime,
to
keep
our
athletes
active.
O
Our
goal
has
been
to
recreate
as
many
of
our
fitness,
nutrition
and
wellness
opportunities
as
possible,
but
into
a
virtual
format
where
people
can
access
it
online
and
right
now
the
majority
of
our
programming
is
taking
place
in
facebook.
I'm
in
a
group
called
sort
active,
but
we
are
also
actively
transitioning
as
much
of
this
content
onto
our
website
as
possible,
so
that
those
participants,
anyone
that
wants
to
be
involved
that
doesn't
have
social
media
can
can
find
this
information
on
our
website.
O
Really
anyone
that
finds
the
welcomeness
that
this
page
invites
is
is,
you
know,
invited
to
be
a
part
of
our
community.
So
this
group
is
for
everyone,
like
we
said
it's,
it's
a
safe
space,
it's
rooted
in
inclusion,
kindness
and
positivity,
and
what
we
do
basically
is
offering
a
variety
of
life
classes
for
our
participants.
O
Most
of
those
happen
through
zoom.
We
found
that
this
is
a
really
great
way
for
our
athletes
to
engage
with
each
other
in
real
time
and
sort
of
get
that
social
feeling
that
many
of
them
have
not
been
getting
during
during
covid.
So
zoom
classes
have
been
super
effective.
We
have
almost
daily
activities.
We
have
fitness
classes,
yoga
we've
had
zumba
classes.
O
One
of
my
colleagues
teaches
a
mindfulness
class
that
kind
of
focuses
on
different
topics
each
week
deep,
breathing
meditation
coping
with
stress,
we've
taught
some
nutrition
and
culinary
skills
classes
and
then,
in
addition,
we
offer
all
sorts
of
social
activities.
So
we've
had
social
hours.
Bingo
dance
parties
have
been
one
of
the
biggest
hits,
but
then
we've
also
touched
on
some
more
sensitive
topics
that
our
athletes
don't
often
get
the
chance
to
express
their
feelings
about.
O
So
we've
had
some
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion
events,
we've
partnered
with
universities
around
the
state
of
oregon
and
brought
student
athletes
in
to
you
know
to
to
get
that
interaction
with
people
that
are
just
like
them.
Seeing
athletes
in
the
collegiate
form
is
is
such
a
cool
opportunity
for
so
many
of
our
athletes.
So
that's
been
really
really
great
right.
Now
we
have
just
under
1
200
members.
O
We
have
athletes
that
join
us
in
all
sorts
of
activities
that
are
ages
13
through
65,
so
there's
really
a
range
of
people
that
participate
varying
intellectual
and
dispensable
disabilities
developmental
disabilities.
There's
just
there's
so
many
different
kinds
of
people
that
participate.
We've
got
athletes
from
all
over
the
united
states
and
we
have
members
from
15
other
countries.
O
So
it's
given
the
opportunity
for
athletes
to
meet
people
in
other
states
that
they
never
would
have
been
able
to
meet
before
all
of
our
facilitators
have
been
volunteers.
We've
worked
with
about
20
different
volunteers
over
the
last
year
and
some
change
who
lead
our
live
classes
in
zoom
and
then,
like
I
mentioned,
we
are
working
with
student
athletes
and
staff
from
multiple
different
universities
across
the
state,
our
staff,
our
supporters,
our
volunteers,
family
members,
athlete
leaders
they're.
All
the
really.
O
The
reason
that
store
active
has
become
as
successful
as
it's
been
and
we're
just
really
excited
to
invite
more
people
within
the
beaverton
school
district.
Anyone
who
wants
to
join,
we
would
just
welcome
their
participation,
and
then
I
think
this
next
slide
is
a
clip
from
our
dance
party,
one
of
our
most
recent
dance
parties.
It
was
superhero
themed
and
one
of
our
athletes
sean.
O
P
R
We
are
here
briefly
to
share
with
you
opportunities
and
resources
we
have
for
families,
and
we
will
all
see
you
at
the
breakout
room
if
you're
available
to
up
by
and
even
if
things
are
looking
different
because
of
it.
We
still
have
a
lot
of
things
for
family
members
to
enjoy,
and
with
this
I
pass
it
along
to
cynthia.
S
Yeah,
thank
you,
hello.
Everyone.
So
I'll
do
like
a
quick
recap
of
what
our
adaptive
program
looks
like
it's.
It's
been
downscaled
and
it
we've
moved
to
a
mobile
program
which
we
go
out
to
parks.
Four
days
a
week.
Our
inclusion
staff
is
out
there
providing
activities,
free
activities
and
giving
out
free
activity
kits
to
the
community.
S
This
is
a
free
program,
so
it
is
grant
based
and
before
we
used
to
offer
wheelchair
basketball
as
well,
which
you
can
see
there
in
the
in
the
photos,
as
well
as
our
all-stars,
which
was
for
teens
and
adults
experiencing
disabilities,
which
was
a
basketball
program.
We
had
officials,
there
roughing
the
game
and
then
we
also
had
our
therapeutic
rec
programs
for
adults
and
youth,
which
we
hope
to
bring
back
soon
as
soon
as
we
can
and
yeah.
That's
a
quick
recap
of
our
adaptive
programs.
R
The
focus
will
always
be
in
creating
experiences
and
recreation
together,
always
focusing
on
needs
and
interests
and
abilities
of
people
instead
of
focusing
on
their
disabilities
and
just
supporting
that
process
of
learning
preparing
and
experience
something
new.
Like
cynthia
said,
we
hope
we
we
get
to
bring
back
many
of
these
activities
or
alive
and
going
before
code,
and
then
I'm
going
to
pass
it
back
to
cynthia
to
talk
about
camp
rivendell
and
registration.
S
Yes,
so
our
camp
rivendale
is
a
day
camp
takes
place
in
the
summer.
This
summer
we
will
be
running
five
weeks
solely
for
youth,
and
this
program
is
it's
your
typical
day
camp.
We
have
our
staff
trained
to
support
a
little
more
extensively,
but
it
is
our
specialized
camp,
so
it
is
for
our
youth
experiencing
disabilities
and
our
ratios
are
a
little
bit
smaller,
so
that
we
can
focus
on
our
campers.
A
registration
process
is
a
little
bit
different.
S
We
do
have
a
interest
list
in
which
the
parents
register
their
campers
on
from
there
they're
sent
an
application
on
how
best
to
support
their
camper
and
then
they're
moved
over
to
our
actual
registration.
I
know
it's
always
a
little
confusing
for
parents
to
understand
is
this
camp
free
and
potentially
it
could
be.
We
do
have
a
financial
aid
and
we
do
have
a
grant
to
pay
for
two
weeks
of
camp
for
for
campers
who
qualify.
So
in
that
we
do.
You
know
your
typical
activities,
arts
and
crafts.
S
R
And
then,
as
cynthia
was
saying,
we
have
the
financial
aid
program,
it's
relatively
easy
to
apply.
You
can
just
reach
out
to
us
and
at
the
end,
we'll
share
that
information
on
how
to
connect,
but
it's
basically
a
program
that
supports
families
that
fall
below
the
federal
meal
income
levels,
which
is
the
same
one
that
beaverton
school
district
uses
for
their
free
meal
program.
Although
right
now
it's
open
to
everybody
which
is
great,
but
just
taking
that
into
account.
R
If
you
were
ever
part
of
that
program
before
it
covered,
it's
highly
likely
that
you
can
also
be
part
of
this
program
and
what
this
is
it
gives
200
per
member
of
the
family
within
the
household.
So
let's
say
we
have
five
people
living
in
that
household,
that
family
gets
a
thousand
dollars
and
it
gets
used
by
one
or
two
or
three
or
all
of
the
family
members.
So
it
doesn't
have
to
be
one
or
the
other.
It
could
be
only
one
person,
it
can
be
three
and
those
ones
are
available
throughout
a
whole
year.

R
A
T
Hi
thanks
everyone
for
having
me,
my
name
is
ryan
locker,
founder
and
ceo
of
special
athletic
training,
we're
a
portland-based
company
that
was
founded
in
2012
that
provides
personal
training
exclusively
for
individuals
with
special
needs.
Pre-Covid.
We
had
four
different
facilities
that
we
trained
up
three
here
in
the
portland
metro
area
and
since
coba
we've
definitely
had
a
pivot
like
everyone
else,
and
so
I
wanted
to
share
my
screen
and
show
you
guys
kind
about
how
we
pivoted
and
what
that
looks
like
as
far
as
our
training
sessions
as.
T
G
N
T
K
K
K
Wonderful
all
right,
as
I
said,
my
name
is
hannah
and
I'm
here
from
the
spindle
center
and
help
me
grow
oregon.
I'm
super
exciting
to
be
here
and
listen
to
all
the
wonderful
resources
that
exist
in
the
community.
I
feel
like
I've
learned
a
lot
today
and
see
a
lot
of
familiar
faces,
started
in
1994
and
we're
here
to
support
parents
and
caregivers
of
children
who
experience
special
health,
developmental
or
behavioral
needs.
K
We
provide
resources
and
information
and
education
to
communities
throughout
oregon
and
southwest
washington,
we're
no
charge
to
any
to
any
family
that
may
need
some
support
or
resources,
and
we
talk
a
lot
about
creating
brave
spaces
for
families.
We
come
together
in
community
and
learn.
Learn
together,
learn
about
one
another,
listen
to
one
another
and
connect
families
with
resources.
K
So
among
the
particular
services
that
we
have
that
we
can
offer,
we
have
parenting
education.
We
have
workshops
and
seminars
that
we
are
currently
offering
offering
virtual
and
those
oftentimes
are
recorded
and
available
on
our
website.
So,
at
the
end
of
the
slide,
we'll
make
sure
to
get
you
that
contact
information
and
the
events
that
we
host
are
particularly
what
we're
hearing
from
all
of
you,
as
parents
and
caregivers
of
children
in
our
community.
K
We
survey
our
families
a
lot
to
make
sure
that
the
events
that
we're
offering
are
responding
to
what
what
kind
of
supports
and
services
you're
looking
for
so
one
of
the
ones
that's
cut
quite
a
bit
in
the
last
couple
weeks
is
how
do
we
support
kids,
transitioning
back
into
in-person
school
or
as
they're
doing
cohort
learning?
How
are
we
supporting
kids
through
that?
So
we're
focusing
on
a
couple
events
to
focus
there.
K
Another
thing
that
we
offer
is
connection
to
community
resources,
so
we
compile
lists
of
resources
based
on
the
needs
that
you
as
a
caregiver
identify
and
are
able
to
do
that
research
for
you.
So
one
of
the
things
that
we
talk
about
that's
come
up
recently
is
summer
camps,
and
I
was
so
excited
to
see
camp
yakitiak
here
today.
That's
when
we
talk
about
a
lot
and
those
summer,
camp
openings
and
available
spots
and
cost
oftentimes
is
time-consuming
to
find.
K
We
have
a
lending
library,
so
we
have
books
that
we
can
send
to
you
for
free
and
return
them
in
a
return
mailer
for
free
as
well,
and
we're
also
transitioning
to
an
online
library.
So
we're
super
excited
to
have
that
available
and
that
should
be
available
in
the
next
couple
months,
and
then
we
offer
support
groups
and
one
of
the
support
groups
that
we
offer.
K
Our
staff,
much
like
other
organizations
that
you've
heard
from
today
are
peers
and
parents,
peer
parent
professionals
and
oftentimes.
They
have
watched
similar
journeys
and
we
are
all
here
to
listen
and
and
support
you,
along
with
our
lending
library.
We
have
a
medical
care
organizer
that
we
call
a
care
notebook
that
is
available
to
you
for
free
to
organize
all
of
those
papers
that
you
might
have
from
the
various
different
connection,
points
that
you
have
for
your
kid
or
kiddos.
K
There's
lots
of
different
ways
to
reach
us
right
now,
so
we
are
available
for
virtual
appointments.
We
have
a
phone
line,
a
warm
line,
that's
open
from
8
to
4
30
monday.
Through
friday,
we
offer
email,
support
and
right
now
we're
offering
in-person
support
by
appointment
and
so
to
connect
with
us.
You
can
call
us
at
the
number
listed
503-215-2429.
K
You
can
email
us
at
swindles,
providence.org
or
you
can
use
this
little
qr
code
with
by
holding
your
your
phone
up
to
the
screen
and
opening
your
camera,
and
that
will
take
you
to
our
website
and
in
the
breakout
room.
We'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
what
events
we
have
going
on
and
share
any
more
questions
or
answer
any
more
questions
that
you
might
have.
So
thanks
again,
I'm
so
excited
to
be
here
today
and
it's
a
sunny
day
and
I'm
so
excited
to
see
so
many
people
here.
V

So
that
was
one
of
our
famed
students
crystal
krillian.
We
just
met
her
last
year.
At
this
time
someone
mentioned,
I
think
it
was
caitlyn
from
special
olympics
silver
linings
this
year.
So
one
of
the
things
we
discovered
when
we
moved
on
to
zoom
is
wow.
We
could
be
teasing
so
much
more
neat
stuff.
So
what
you
just
saw
was
the
product
of
of
some
of
the
work
we've
been
we've
been
doing
online
this
year
and
currently
for
the
summer,
we'll
be
doing
more
of
the
same
thing.
V
G
V
If
you're
18
and
up
it
kind
of
doubles
as
job
skills,
training,
the
arts
is
goes
so
deep,
you
know
it,
it
really
gives
you
or
could
produce.
The
potential
to
you
know
really
enhance
your
whole.
Life
definitely
supports
education
and
social
skills
and
what
it
does
for
your
employment
skills,
like
things
like
working
with
other
people
being
on
time,
working
on
a
deadline.
V
All
these
things
are
valuable
and
happen
when
you're
just
participating
in
the
arts
typically
per
term.
There's
a
there's
a
four
term
year,
with
ten
weeks
per
term.
Typically,
we'll
have
26
arts
classes
anywhere
from
like
music
singing
voice,
acting
to
just
acting
one-on-one
musical
theater
videography
podcasting
weekly.
V
We
provide
two
hours
or
three
hours
of
social
activities,
two
sessions,
weekly
of
mindfulness
and
meditation,
and
typically
until
further
notice,
we
will
be
having
our
classes
on
on
zoom,
which
has
been
quite
successful
monday
through
thursday
and
our
summer
term
is
coming
up.
So
anyone
having
questions
feel
free
to
check
me
out
in
the
breakout
rooms.
V
V
A
W
W
Hopefully
that
is
good
for
everybody.
Oh
that's
totally
at
the
end,
so
I'll
go
back
all
the
way
get
a
quick
preview
of
everything
I
am
also
a
beaverton
school
district
parent.
I
have
my
two
of
my
three
children
have
dyslexia
and
so
I've
navigated
and
been
through
that
one
is
in
college
now
and
one
is
currently
in
high
school
so
and
we've
been
in
beaverton
since
they
were
in
kindergarten.
So
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
questions
about
anything
that
comes
up
during
the
breakout
rooms.
W
We
are
the
oldest
global
organization
dedicated
to
studying.
Dyslexia
we've
been
around
for
a
long
time
all
science
based
and
there's
44
branches
in
the
united
states
and
one
in
canada,
and
we
are
a
member
based
organization.
I
am
on
the
board
currently
serving
as
a
board
of
director
or
a
director
on
the
board
of
directors.
W
Our
website
is
a
rich
resource,
as
I'm
sure
everyone
else's
website's
here,
and
we
actually
think
the
next
page
talks
about
our
parent
grid.
As
many
of
you
may
be
parents,
it
actually
takes
you
through
multiple
tracks
of
where
you're
at
have
do.
You
just
suspect
that
your
child
has
dyslexia.
You
might
go
on
one
track
or
has
your
student
been
tested
and
you
want
to
seek
resources
at
school?
W
W
W
We,
the
student
empowerment
panel,
will
go
to
the
international
dyslexia
conference
and
symposiums
and
they
also
are
a
panel
that
will
speak
to
educators
and
teachers
who
are
in
teaching
training
teacher
training
programs
to
educate
them
about
what
it's
really
like
to
have
dyslexia
from
a
student
perspective,
and
everyone
loves
to
hear
from
what
the
immediate
student
experience
is
right.
Now,
teachers
really
enjoy
hearing
what
our
students
appreciate
as
far
as
help
and
accommodations
and
support
in
the
classroom
really
important.
W
If
you
have
a
student
with
dyslexia,
even
if
they're
in
middle
school
now
or
even
elementary
school
in
the
last
couple
years,
we
have
developed
a
running
the
distance
scholarship
and
it
is
not
just
for
students
who
are
going
to
a
four-year
college.
It
can
be
for
a
two-year
college.
Somebody
who
has
an
entrepreneurial
idea
who
are
going
to
a
trade
school
or
who
are
going
to
a
four-year
college.
So
I
believe
yeah.
We
have
three
one
thousand
dollar
scholarships,
and
so
you
can
be
looking
for
that
that
application
to
reopen
in
the
winter.
W
We
also
have
a
lot
of
presentations
in
education
on
our
youtube
channel.
So
that
is
an
a
great
resource
for
you
to
be
directed
to
and
you
can
join
our
mailing
list
go
to
oregon.dyslexia.ida
and
I
can
talk
to
you
more
about
it.
If
you
want
to
meet
me
in
the
breakout
room,
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
questions.
A
Q
Q
I
don't
know
why:
that's
okay,
you
don't
need
to
see
me
I'll.
Just
talk,
I
am
the
chairman
of
the
board
of
camp
meadowwood
springs
been
involved
with
the
camp
for
about
27
years
now.
The
camp
is
located
40
miles
northeast
of
pendleton
in
the
blue
mountains.
So
if
you're
familiar
with
the
western
western
area
of
the
state,
that's
where
we're
at
camp
middleweight
springs
is
for
children.
Q
Q
Q
Q
However,
if
you
are
a
kid,
if
you're
in
a
situation
where
you
don't
have
that
kind
of
money
to
send
your
child
to
camp,
I
would
suggest
you
contact
your
local
elks
lodge
and
99
of
them
have
tuition
money
for
sending
the
kids
to
camp.
We
have
two
one-week
sessions.
We
generally
start
about
mid-july,
unfortunately,
due
to
covet
and
everything
else,
that's
going
on
the
camp
will
not
be
operating
again
this
year.
We're
really
disappointed
and
I'm
personally
disappointed
because
you
know
it's.
Q
Q
Q
Unfortunately,
the
last
several
years
our
numbers
have
been
dwindling
and
there
are
several
reasons
for
that.
But
the
big
reason
is:
I
think
that
people
are
worried
about.
You
know
sending
their
kids
off
to
camp
for
a
week,
and
I
understand
that,
but
we
have
an
almost
two
to
one
staff
to
child
ratio.
So
there's
always
at
least
one
or
two
people
around
the
kids
24
hours
a
day.
Q
It's
constant
learning,
whether
they're
act
in
some
kind
of
activity
with
their
particular
therapist
or
if
they
swimming
hiking,
whatever
it
might
be,
whatever
activity
they're
doing,
they
are
getting
therapy.
So
I
really
want
to
thank
you
for
your
time
and
efforts
and
everything
you
guys
are
doing
out
there
and
if
you
have
any
questions,
don't
hesitate
to
email
me
or
the
camp
website.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
so
much
dave
and
thank
you
to
so
much
to
all
of
our
presenters
for
sharing
in
a
moment
we'll
open
up
breakout
rooms.
So
you
either
have
the
option
to
end
your
evening
now
or
you
can
enter
a
breakout
room
to
ask
questions
of
the
presenters
with
other
participants
so
to
enter
a
breakout
room.
You
are
going
to
click
breakout

in
your
zoom
meeting
controls.
A
Then
you
are
going
to
click
join
next
to
the
breakout

wish
to
participate
in
then
confirm
by
clicking
join
again,
and
you
can
repeat
as
necessary
to

other
breakout

and
go

them
or

click
leave
room
to
return
to
the
main
session
when
you're
done
for
the
night
you're
welcome
to
sign
off.
We
would
like
your
feedback
on
how
this
evening
went
for
you.
If
you
click
on
the
chat
icon
in
the
bottom,
zoom
bar
you'll
see
that
we're
going
to
drop
a
link
to
our
exit
ticket.
A
I
just
want
to
thank
everybody
so
much
for
joining
us
tonight.
Thank
you
to
our
presenters.
Thank
you
to
all
of
our
attendees
for
taking
the
time.
I
hope
this
was
a
helpful
for
you
and
I
hope,
you're
able
to
get
your
questions
answered
in
the
breakout
room
if
you
still
have
them.
So
thank
you
again
for
joining
us
and
have
a
great
rest
of
the
evening.
Whether
you're
in
breakout
sessions
or
whether
you're
just
at
home-
and
I
wish
you
all
the
best-
take
care.
