This Weekend Conference will provide an opportunity for sharing and
learning
with parents and professionals and anyone who may have an interest in Sturge-Weber
Syndrome.
Our theme this year, “Setting the Stage for Success” is to honour those
individuals affected by Sturge-Weber Syndrome. It shall be a time for us to
generate positive energy that we know is possible when families have the
opportunity to network and share their strategies and
knowledge that comes with raising a child with Sturge-Weber Syndrome.
We look forward to creating new friendships and rekindling old ones. We look
forward to sharing experiences, strategies, acquiring new ideas and information
that will help to strengthen families
