April 22, 2014 (12:00 p.m. ET)

Making Buddies Work: The "Buddy System" sounds like a great plan - but there are so many questions!! How do I pair people with a special need with a Buddy? What happens if that buddy doesn't work out? What do we do if that regular buddy can't be in attendance? Join Vangie and her special guest Jacqueline Daniel as they discuss the ins and outs of setting up a Buddy System. Learn practical tips for turning "buddies" into life-long friends.

Jacqueline is the Presiden of ConnectAbility.
