Bilingual Back to School Event
If you have a child with hemophilia, von Willebrand Disease (vWD), or another bleeding disorder, school can be hard to navigate. It is important to know the resources available to you.
Every Fall, we host our Bilingual Back to School Event to help families in our community prepare to return to school. This year’s event will be held on Sunday, September 18 from 11 AM to 3 PM at the New York Marriott Downtown (85 West Street at Albany Street, New York, NY 10006).
Topics Include:
- Infusion Training
- 504s and IEPs
- Goal Setting
- Career Paths and Potential
- Protecting Your Joints
- Improv Workshop and Performance (for kids and teens)
- A full agenda will be shared before the event.
