The A Look Ahead Conference Series (ALA) provides information, resources and strategies for persons with disabilities and their families. It provides tools to create the life they want - one that offers hopes, dreams, possibilities and goals that are sometimes thought to be out of reach.
The future concerns most people. Especially for people living with a disability, thinking about the future may bring a whole new level of worry that others can rarely understand. The ALA conference series was created with these concerns in mind.
Parents of children with disabilities put a great deal of effort into planning for their child’s future. They need to start that planning earlier than most.
If you are planning for your child’s transition into adulthood, there will be many new things to think about and decisions to make. ALA can provide tools to help. Each ALA conference offers:
The time to educate yourself on what is possible and start planning for the future is now! With increased awareness, expectation and opportunity, people who live life with a disability and their families can look ahead and plan for a bright future.
Did your child just receive a diagnosis? Will your child transition into adulthood soon? Either way, this conference is for you!
It is never too early, and it is never too late to look ahead. Planning brings the future into the present and helps you make decisions that will move you closer to your vision. It also helps you avoid options that move you away from your vision.

Thinking about the future can be scary, but it doesn’t have to be.
