Cape holds inclusivity and access resource fair
The Cape Henlopen School District Special Programs department hosted its first inclusivity and access resource fair Nov. 2, at the Sussex Consortium.
With 25 organizations represented, families of students with special needs were able to network and collect information on programs, activities and resources for their children.
Several organizations hosted short presentations, while others had informational tables set up in the cafeteria. Families received information from the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, Division of Developmental Disabilities Services, special needs trust funds, life insurance, Autism Delaware, and a variety of other activities such as Girls on the Run, Children's Beach House, First Tee Golf, and the Milton and Rehoboth libraries, which signed up students and families for library cards.
