OTHER INFORMATION:

First timers

The first time someone attends, a member of the participant's "Circle of Trust" (e.g. parent, aide, driver, etc.) will be asked to stay onsite for up to an hour to make sure the participant is comfortable, sufficiently supported and successful at the Connections event without the need for additional assistance. If a participant needs more assistance to be successful, the participant may attend with their own personal support (e.g. a personal care attendant) with an added fee of $10.
