GUEST SPEAKER TODAY – Charles Evdos
Topic: Cerebal Palsy Association of Nassau
Summary: Charlie gave us a brief, but informative summary of CP of Nassau does! They help numerous people with disabilities and not just people with cerebral palsy.
They have a school, an early intervention program that helps kids get back to their local school district faster. 40% of their cases are cerebral palsy, some are brain trauma, muscular dystrophy, stroke victims and many more. Charlie is hosting a Taste of Towns Event at Chateau Briand on September 14th at 6pm. Please email Charlie if you’d like to attend his guest. I have attached Charlie’s hand out and his contact information is below. Great Job Charlie!
