About this Event

“Greatness exists in us all.” This is the mantra of Children’s Link, an organization known and valued for offering resources, information, connections and hope to families and professionals in the special needs community. Hear from Tannis Sigfusson, Lead of Community Education, who has spent the past 18 years advocating for her daughter with complex needs. As someone with a deep understanding of caregiving, Tannis will speak to how Children’s Link can support families, just like hers.
