Presentations may fall within any of the five focused strands:

• Strand 1: School, District and State Personnel- Topics related to Climate, Culture, and Administrative and Instructional Support
• Strand 2: Curriculum and Instruction- Strategies and Interventions for Students with Exceptionalities
• Strand 3: Racially, Ethnically, Linguistically, and Socioeconomically Diverse Students with Exceptionalities
• Strand 4: Family, School and Community Partnerships- Focused on meaningfully working with partners to address the needs of students with exceptionalities.
• Strand 5: Transition, Self­ Determination, Self­ Advocacy, College and Career.

Presenter Requirements:

1. Proposals may only be submitted online.
2. All presenters must respect presentation times and be available when scheduled. Once the conference schedule has been disseminated, poster presentation times cannot be changed.
3. All presenters are responsible for all registration fees and expenses and MUST register no later than the early bird registration deadline.

Poster Presentation Guidelines: 

Presenters must:
