On Sunday, September 18, we will host our Annual Bilingual Back to School Event. This event was designed to help your family transition out of summer and get ready to return to school.

El domingo 18 de septiembre, tendremos nuestro evento anual ‘Regreso a Clases’ con sesiones en inglés y español. Esta vez se realizará de forma virtual y está diseñado para ayudar a tu familia con la transición del fin del verano y prepararse para el regreso a la escuela.

If you have a child with hemophilia, von Willebrand Disease (vWD), or another bleeding disorder, school can be hard to navigate. It is important to know the resources available to you.

Every Fall, we host our Bilingual Back to School Event to help families in our community prepare to return to school. This year’s event will be held on Sunday, September 18 from 11 AM to 3 PM at the New York Marriott Downtown.

Topics Include:

• Infusion Training
• 504s and IEPs
• Goal Setting
• Career Paths and Potential
• Protecting Your Joints
• Improv Workshop and Performance (for kids and teens)
• A full agenda will be shared before the event.
