On August 19, the ASEP Conference was held in Conway. Local Lead Captain Karen Garner, Cheryl Green, ABC/ECH Assistant Coordinator, and Kelli Parson, ABC/ECH Coordinator, attended this wonderful conference, where they provided support and assistance throughout the event.
The conference featured valuable presentations designed to strengthen the knowledge, skills, and guidance of educators across Arkansas. Opportunities such as ASEP allow professionals to learn from one another, build meaningful partnerships, and work together to better serve children and families.
Through continued collaboration, we can help ensure that Arkansas children receive the individualized support and resources they need to learn, grow, and thrive. Arkansas children are our focus!
