EdRev Expo is an annual event with a unique focus on the 1 in 5 students with learning and attention differences, often compounded by anxiety and depression. Now entering its 11th year, EdRev Expo combines education sessions, resources and consultations with a celebratory community day at the ballpark. It is the only event of its kind that brings together the whole community—students, parents, educators and professionals—to share experiences and resources, and make new connections.
Don’t miss these sessions on dyslexia!
