The conference is sponsored by the four Regional Centers on Postsecondary Education for Individuals who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing, which are funded by U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education & Rehabilitative Services. This conference will provide opportunities for further professional development as well as for networking with peers who provide similar services.

We welcome interested secondary-level faculty and staff, adult service providers from rehabilitation agencies and centers for independent living, etc. to participate in this conference. Topics may include such areas as best practices of providing services, strategies to enhance student transition, the use of networking, shifting roles of professional staff, the use of technology, changing demographics, legislative changes and impacts, creative funding approaches, support services, career planning and job placement issues, and other topics of professional interest.
