The 2018 Region 8 ESC Parent Conference and Agency Fair will feature two exceptional speakers.  Christian Moore is an internationally-renowned speaker, author of The Resilience Breakthrough, and the nation's leading expert on practical, everyday resilience.  His childhood with severe learning differences in a blended family environment gave him his own raw lessons in resilience, and later a conviction that resilience can be taught. Robert Rummel-Hudson is the father of Schuyler Noelle, who was diagnosed with a rare neurological condition that left her unable to speak. He used his online journal and blog to chronicle Schuyler's fight for a rich and meaningful life.
