In Focus: A Time for Learning and Connecting

Join us the second Tuesday of each month (note date changes around holidays) as we answer your questions and provide information and resources aimed at supporting your learner’s needs. Each month will have a specific focus and will be hosted by APSEA staff with the knowledge and/or lived experience to guide a discussion around that month’s topic. Who knows where the conversations will take us, though, so log in each month. You never know what you might learn or the connections you might make!

Facilitators: Sessions will be hosted by various members of our APSEA team and may include invited guests
