CONNECT-A-BILITY

The H.E.S. Disabilities Services Department invites you and your family to join us for this brand new program.

For your children, a series of interactive virtual enrichment sessions designed specifically for their abilities. Programs include puppetry, music, yoga, drumming, art, and movement.

Parents will be invited to workshops that will provide you with information and support. This will help ensure you have access to the best services for you, your family, and your child.

Families will receive monthly packets including materials to use in sessions, information for parents, alongside fun surprises!

Let us be part of your team; supporting you and your child while helping you connect them to the services they need and stay connected to others during these unique times.
