You may also want to have SCAN present a workshop to your group!
SCAN is excited to offer a new series of fee-for-service workshops targeted at parents, volunteers and service providers. We encourage nonprofits, schools, government agencies and other community groups to consider hosting one of our workshops, which are based on our own existing programs and the expertise of SCAN staff. Workshops can be tailored to the needs of the audience and are often available in English and Spanish.
