If you’re looking for resources for your loved one with a disability, then the Diverse Abilities Resource Fair coming to the Webster Public Library on April 18 is for you.
This annual event (formerly called the Special Needs Parent Resource Fair) draws dozens of organizations from around Rochester, all of which offer programs and support for children and adults with disabilities. It continues to grow every year, and this year will welcome more than 70 agencies. (Scroll down to see a list of them all.)
On Saturday April 18, parents and caregivers are invited to stop by anytime between 10 a.m. and noon, chat with the organizations’ representatives and pick up some information. All ages are welcome, and if at any time you or your loved ones need a breather, Autism Up will be set up in the Community Room with a sensory space.
Registration is not required, but recommended if you’d like to get a emailed reminder. Call 585-872-7075 or click here to register. If you’re unable to attend, information about the attending organizations will be available upon request.
The Webster Public Library is located at 980 Ridge Rd. at the rear of Webster Plaza.
