Visit Lorain County Resource Fair

posted 3/1/24 -- Connecting for Kids will present its annual Lorain County Resource Fair from 6 to 8 p.m. March 12 at Lorain County Community College’s Spitzer Conference Center in Elyria.

LCCAA Head Start will participate in the fair, along with more than 60 other organizations throughout the community.

Both in person and drive up “grab and go” options are available. In-person attendees who pre-register are eligible to win an Amazon gift card.

The Resource Fair is designed for families with children aged 0 to 22 and highlights services available for a variety of needs. March is Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month and resources for attention issues, ADHD, learning disabilities, autism spectrum disorders and more will be provided.

Resources for children with dyslexia will also be available in response to a new law requiring public school students be screened between kindergarten and third grade.

Mental health resources including therapists will also be available. Participants can visit with representatives from a variety of organizations to discuss services and explore program options.

The first 100 families who stop by the Connecting for Kids table will receive a free stuffed animal courtesy of Wild Republic along with a disability awareness pin and bookmark.
