Partnerships Spark Possibilities!
We’re excited to share key details for our 2026 Hopes & Dreams Conference—our annual gathering that brings families, professionals, and community partners together to learn, connect, and reimagine what’s possible for children and youth with disabilities in South Carolina.
📅 Wednesday, March 25, 2026
📍R2i2 Conference Center
This year’s conference celebrates one powerful idea: when we work together, possibilities grow!
Join us as a Presenter!
We are now accepting presentation proposals for workshops and sessions that empower, inform, and spark new ideas. Whether you’re a parent, educator, community partner, or professional—your expertise and experience matter.
We’re Looking for Presentations That:
• Include family or youth perspectives (your voice matters!)
• Share helpful tools, tips, or ideas that others can use
• Celebrate partnerships between families, schools, providers, or community groups
• Show how coming together can improve services, access, and inclusion.
