Resource Fair Strategies & Solutions

Resource fairs can feel overwhelming, especially if you’ve never been to one before. Below, our Family Resource Specialists (FRS) team shares their favorite tips to help you make the most of your time.

With 70+ vendors at each fair, there is a lot to see. Before you arrive, think of one or two priorities (occupational therapists, alternative schools, etc.) and focus on those first. The resource fair directories are grouped by program or service type, so it’s easy to find what you need.

Once you’ve covered your priorities, you can go back and check out other vendors to discover new programs or services.

We have some great resources on the website to help you to feel more prepared. One that many people don’t know about is our sample questions. With lists of questions for summer camps, therapists, social skills groups and alternative schools, you’ll feel confident that you’re not forgetting to ask something important.

Sometimes it’s hard to figure out exactly what you need – and that’s where an Ask Us call can help. For example, if your child has a new ADHD diagnosis, you can use Ask Us to understand how different professionals support children with similar needs.

During your call, we’ll talk about your child’s needs and suggest options. We can even look up specific professionals to see if they’ll be attending the fair.

We hope these tips help you feel confident, prepared and ready to find the support your child needs.
