[QUOTE="lmf64, post: 297207, member: 7736"] [SIZE=3]I had a very interesting day today. I attended the Fourth Annual National Ted and Roberta Mann Foundation Symposium About Children and Young Adults with Mental Health and Learning Disabilities. It was put together by Pacer Center. If anyone else was there today PM me I'd like to pick your brain on the breakout sessions you attended.[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]I had the pleasure of being on a breakout with Rick Lavoie.
