Bridgehampton Child Care & Recreational Center Forum’s Thinking Forward Lecture Series will continue on Wednesday, December 15, at 7 PM.
The free seminar on ZOOM is for this who want to learn about eligibility and benefits available for children with disabilities. The discussion will be moderated by Dora Romero, the new in-house Social Worker at the Bridgehampton Child Care & Recreational Center, with Donna Febo, and Christine Bryant.
Donna Febo, a mother of two special needs children, knows too well the challenges parents face to obtain services.
“As I spoke to other parents of Special Needs Kids, I found out the information related to signing up for and receiving OPWDD services was not readily available and many of the kids, even in my own children’s school district were not receiving these life-altering services,” said Donna Febo.
This forum will help attendees learn about OPWDD- NY State Office for People with Developmental disabilities. How to connect with Direct Support Staff, including Community Habilitation Specialists, Respite Workers, Job Coaches, and Job Developers.
