About this Event
You advocate every day for your students, your clients, and your children. This gathering is about connecting with others who understand that work while building a community that supports you, too.
Advocate & Connect brings together the people who show up for families every day — speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, educators, advocates, and the parents walking alongside them.
More than a networking event, this is a welcoming space to meet, share experiences, and build meaningful relationships with people who truly understand this world.
Whether you're a professional hoping to grow your network or a parent looking to feel more connected and supported, you belong here.
Enjoy an afternoon of conversation, connection, light refreshments of food and beverages, and a relaxed atmosphere designed to bring people together.
Hosted by Simple Advocate — a platform designed to help families organize information, prepare for important conversations, and feel more supported throughout their journey.
Come as you are.
Leave with connections that matter.
