Our 2011 conference titled "Past, Present and Future" was held on Saturday 19 November in Cumbernauld and included workshops on: power of attorney and guardianship, self-directed support, supported employment, speech and language development, dementia, understanding behaviour, research and music. We are currently planning for this year's conference and will contact all members in due course.
