In an age of increasing accountability, how can we make special education more effective for all students? How can we narrow the achievement gap between students with disabilities and those in general education? What are scientifically based interventions? What constitutes current best practices? How do we quantify effectiveness? Join us for an in-depth look at special education policy and practice.
You’ll hear from statewide and national leading experts on critical issues
facing special educators over a full day that includes presentations,
a luncheon and roundtable discussions. Participating in the VASE
