Engagement
Parent conferences are held twice a year to share your child's strengths from the Desired Results Developmental Profile (DRDP) child assessment and the Ages & Stages Questionnaires (ASQ). We regularly host parent education workshops through our Family University Parent Engagement program, and we encourage you to get involved and join our Parent Advisory Committee.
