Rachel Converse

Developmental Support Quality Coach

We are so excited to be presenting the first annual Tennessee State-wide Conference for Including All Children. We know that including all children with disabilities can seem daunting at times. We want to provide you with information and support so that you can see that you absolutely are capable of providing care and support to children with disabilities and their families. Incorporating a parent panel in the conference will give educators a rare opportunity to gain direct knowledge and ask questions of parents who have been navigating the world of childcare for their own children with disabilities. This is a wonderful opportunity, and I can’t wait to see you all there!

Tamarisk Heckmann
