Highlights from the Department of Special Education Parent Expo 2016

“Student Success: Imagine the Possibilities”

APS parents, families, friends, staff and community members turned out in record numbers to attend the Department of Special Education’s annual Parent Expo. Now, in its fourth year, the Parent Expo features a tour of vendors from various disciplines, a program with guest speakers, a talented display of student performances, all culminating with thoughtful workshops and terrific door prizes! It was a wonderful event for all.
