Join us at the District-Wide East Orange Transition Fair

for families of high school students with Special Needs (IEP/504) attending East Orange Public Schools

The transition fair is designed to make families and caregivers of children with special needs aware of the resources available to them in the community. This will help prepare them for their education and/or life beyond high school via adult services. This is a community outreach event. The goal of this event is to introduce families to a sampling of the core agencies available to them and to help them understand how to correctly apply for and access the services. Eiros Group will be there!

Learn more here This is a paid training opportunity for Eiros Group Staff, but we are welcoming all of our families and service providers to join us as we do a deep dive into how we can support each other in the work we are called to do. Admission is FREE to Eiros Group Employees and Families. We are asking all other community Members to “Pay What You Can”, with a suggested donation of $20 per session. Workshop locations, times and descriptions are below. RESERVE YOUR SEAT AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE Peter Leidy conducts workshops, develops training materials, writes songs, speaks and sings at conferences, and works with organizations, government agencies, families, and paid supporters to promote positive support, inclusion, building healthy relationships, and thinking differently about people who are called “challenging.” (Peter himself is known to be non-compliant at times and can often be found exhibiting attention-seeking behavior.)
