    Dottie,

    This is the first I heard about the Heroes organization. If your child is a member, would you mind sharing what you get out of it? I'm just wondering which organizations are worth joining. Thanks in advance!

    I'm not Dottie,
    But I attended the Heros conference last year and thought it well worth the drive. I love seeing my DS having fun with a whole group of kids out of the corner of my eye.We are always saying that we want our kids to be in contexts where they are normal, so events like this one are high on our priority list.
    I enjoyed the parent's program as well. I loved chatting with other parents face to face about their experiences.

    Smiles,
    Grinity

    Hello,

    My son took the SCAT on Saturday (11/08/2011). I read in one of the posts that the results are posted under the MYCTY page with in a day. I have logged in a few times on MYCTY, but I still have not seen anything posted. If someone can please let me know which section are the results posted under, I'll appreciate it.

    thanks
