THE TALK 🚨👀 We want to help you feel prepared to have “the talk” with all your kids, including those with disabilities.

Our “Growing Up Informed” class on November 4th is the perfect place to gather resources so you can decide how you want to have these conversations with your kids with IDD & related conditions.

Join our Future Ready Showcase in collaboration with the Utah Independent Living Center! We only have 🚨15🚨 spots for youth showcase participants!

This fun, interactive event will allow youth with disabilities to showcase their employment skills, business ideas, career interests, entrepreneurial projects, and future goals in a science fair-style format. Think of it as a chance for youth to shine, share their strengths, and celebrate what makes them future-ready!

✨ We only have space for 15 youth participants, so spots are limited and will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Once we reach 15 applicants, registration will close.

To help participants feel comfortable and prepared, we will provide:
Chairs and table space
Drinks and snacks
A welcoming and supportive environment to showcase their strengths and ideas

In addition to the showcase, we'll have a Resource Fair in the next room where youth and families can connect with organizations, programs, and services that can support them on their employment, education, and independent living journey.

Today is Awareness Day. This chromosome deletion may affect approximately 1 in 7,300 people. Applied to current population estimates, that could represent approximately 50,000 people in the United States and 1.1 million people worldwide.

Phelan-McDermid syndrome can affect communication, learning, movement, sleep, behavior, and other areas of health and development. But it does not look the same for everyone, and not every person is recognized early. Genetic testing is required to confirm a diagnosis.

For individuals and families, an accurate diagnosis can open the door to:
Information and clinical care guidance
Clinicians familiar with the condition
Research opportunities
Support and a community that understands
Greater recognition can help more people find answers, resources, support, and connection.
