    Thank you to everyone who attended and participated in yesterday’s Brooklyn Developmental Disabilities Council 2024 Family Support Fair! It was so nice to be back in Brooklyn College for the first time since the pandemic and to get to see everyone, IN-PERSON, and network and share resources! We had over 65 vendors across 3 floors and well over 200 people attended throughout the day.

    Hopefully you all made it up to the 6th floor and got to experience the 360 Photo Booth sponsored by Pretty Gyal Hustle. A big THANK YOU to our event sponsors; Hamaspik Homecare, EIHAB Human Services, and Prime Home Health Services.

    We ask that you please take a few minutes to complete our survey on your experience at yesterday’s event. It will greatly help us plan and improve upon future events hosted by the Brooklyn Developmental Disabilities Council.

    Another big THANK YOU to all of our BKDDC officers and committee co-chairs for volunteering their time for the event and the monthly meetings that the council holds throughout the year. Thank you to all of the additional volunteers that donated their time yesterday to ensure that everything went smoothly and all who attended had a great experience.

    Again, on behalf of the BKDDC, thank you for making yesterday a success and we can not wait for our next event to support the IDD community in Brooklyn!
