SPECIAL PROGRAM FEATURES
SPECIALTY WORKSHOPS
We are pleased to
provide three concurrent all-day specialty workshops the first day of our
2001 conference. These workshops will provide conference attendees a foundation
of understanding in one of three areas: 1) serving individuals who are
hard of hearing, 2) serving individuals who are deaf-blind, and 3) working
with Native American cultural minorities within the Deaf community. These
workshops will run from 10:00 to 6:00 Wednesday, April 4. Conference attendees
should mark their first and second preference on the registration form
indicating which one of the three you plan to attend.
