This spring the New Jersey Department of Education’s Office of Special Education (OSE) will sponsor nine regional Dare to Dream Student Leadership conferences that highlight strategies to promote self-advocacy skills for middle and high school students with disabilities. Each conference will feature keynote presentations from accomplished students from local educational agencies (LEAs) across the state and presentations from young adults with disabilities who have demonstrated exemplary self-advocacy and leadership skills. Additionally, the conference program will include a variety of student-led workshop sessions on topics such as self-discovery, student selfadvocacy, preparing to lead your individualized education program (IEP) meeting, and understanding your rights and responsibilities as a high school student in college and the workplace.

Here is the letter from the NJ DoE and if you are interested in attending I (Tara Szymanek) will be attending the May 21st conference at the Mercer County Community College with my daughter.
