Thanks to everyone who attended and helped make this year's state DDNA conference a success!  We had a great time over 2 days and enjoyed the speakers!  We tried something new this year with a parent's panel and that was a huge success!  Feedback was positive and many requested a parent's panel be included in future conferences.  Thanks again to the parents who shared their stories and helped us learn and grow in our profession.
