Advocate & Connect

An intentional afternoon of connection for families and professionals in the advocacy space. 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. Who This Event Is For • Parents & caregivers • Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) • Occupational therapists (OTs) • Educators & special education professionals • Advocates & caseworkers • Anyone passionate about supporting children and families Additional Information Check-in begins at 1:45pm PM.
