Community resource fair planned for students with disabilities, Spanish interpreter onsite

Lexington – Teachers with Davidson County, Thomasville and Lexington City Schools have partnered with The Arc of Davidson County to hold the 9th Annual Community Resource Fair for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities.  Students, families, and educators seeking information regarding community resources, employment, and recreation are invited to attend this free event. Davidson-Davie Community College (Conference Center, Old Greensboro Rd.) will host the event, scheduled for Tuesday, April 5th from 6:30-8pm. 

“Families will be able to speak with 26 community providers, including NC Vocational Rehabilitation, Exceptional Children’s Assistance Center, and Sandhills Center,” said Teresa McKeon, Executive Director of The Arc of Davidson County. Added McKeon, “Planning for the future is a challenge for every student-but more so for those with a disability. The intention of the Fair is to assist students and families with the understanding that the earlier the planning begins, the more successful the transition to life after school will be.”  A Spanish interpreter will be available.
