From Tina - I just read about a wonderful conference later this month (October 28th, 29th) in northern Virginia. Think College and other leaders in the field of postsecondary education for students with intellectual disabilities will be presenting. I really wish Daniela and I could go, but we have a prior event in Richmond on the evening of the 28th, so logistics would be very difficult to manage. The agenda sounds fascinating. I think we would have a really difficult time choosing between breakout sessions if we did attend. I would especially love to meet the people from Think College as they have really helped us so much this past year.
If you are a family or professional who is interested in learning more about students with ID attending college, this sounds like it would help you immensely!
