The New Millennium that we are facing as a society has received lots of press. As educators of children with exceptionalities, we are also entering a New Millennium in special education.
All seasoned educators realize that change is the only constant.
It is a challenge to stay current, understand the law, get new ideas and find different strategies and more effective approaches. Through the Keynote speaker, workshops, poster sessions, exhibitors and opportunities to meet and collaborate with professionals in your area of interest, you immediately gain inspiration, knowledge and practical strategies. The contacts you make become a network of individuals you can call on whenever you need additional support or to share an idea. The personal growth sessions can help you add balance to your life and provide some stress relief, making the convention a well-rounded experience. Many regular education teachers are being called upon to teach children with exceptionalities in their classrooms without the education or training to be effective.
