Thanks for joining us as we Reached for the Stars together at
Rhode Island's 2022 Statewide Self-Advocacy Conference!
This year's event took place on Thursday, June 16th and Friday, June 17th.
We're in the process of adding video recordings, powerpoints, and other resources from this year's conference to our site.
If you're visiting more than once, you may want to HARD REFRESH your browser. Doing so will clear your browser of anything leftover from your last visit so you can see the latest version.
We've added some information about how to do this using the Google Chrome browser below:
The REFRESH or RELOAD button looks like an arrow in the shape of a circle. In Chrome, the button is located on the top left of the screen.
Alternatively, you can press Ctrl and the F5 key (Ctrl + F5) on your keyboard.
Here's an image of the REFRESH or RELOAD icon and a screenshot that shows you where it's located in Chrome.
At Advocates in Action we prefer the Chrome browser, but there are others to choose from!
