Educational Seminars and Conferences

We are proud to be able to bring our members learning opportunities all year long with our DSCNWA EDU: Educational Seminars.

We offer parents, caregivers, family members and friends, educators and more opportunities throughout the year to participate in seminars free of charge that will help them navigate pertinent issues and topics. Check the DSCNWA calendar for upcoming seminars.

We do a one day conference every three years for members at a nominal fee. We bring in expert speakers to present on a variety of topics with something applicable to all age groups. Our last conference was in 2023.
