Yorktown Septa

📣 Upcoming Virtual Workshop for Parents & Caregivers

As our children grow and gain independence, our role begins to shift from being their advocate to becoming their coach. Join tomorrow’s zoom for an informative workshop:

🎓 Cutting the Cord: Moving from Advocate to Coach
📅 Tuesday, June 2, 2026
🕛 12:00 PM – 1:15 PM
💻 Virtual via Zoom

This session will explore strategies for supporting young adults as they develop self-advocacy skills, independence, and confidence in navigating their own lives. Learn practical ways to empower your child while still providing meaningful support.

Registration is available through the QR code on the flyer.

✨ A valuable opportunity for families of adolescents and young adults with disabilities who are preparing for the transition to adulthood.

Welcome June! Here’s to sunshine, growth, and making more memories. 💚☀️

From adaptive bicycles and communication aids to specialized camp experiences and mobility equipment, this program is creating opportunities and support for families in need.
