2026 K-12 STRENGTHS FAIR
WHERE STRENGTHS SHINE AND FUTURES GROW
March 8, 2026 12-3pm at the Los Altos Community Center
​
Join us at REEL's 2026 K-12 Strengths Fair a one-of-a-kind event created for families to explore organizations, schools, and clinicians committed to empowering neurodivergent kids through a strength-based approach.​

Discover what's possible when we stop asking "What's wrong?" and start asking "What's strong?" Designed for families of neurodivergent and twice-exceptional (2e) students, this event brings together schools, enrichment programs, and experts who lead with curiosity, respect, and possibility.
