**Information on the Community Cafe:  Following this year's annual meeting, we will be holding an exciting new forum! Our Community Cafe, sponsored by UVU, will focus on person-centered care. It is a wonderful program that is being used to brainstorm and involve parents and professionals in a positive, interactive environment. So you will not only participate, but learn how to moderate the program with your peers and networks. Seating is limited. The Community Cafe will include lunch.
