| What: |
This is the only ongoing Conference
on the topic of abuse of people with disabilities. We traditionally
have a program of excellence, including speakers at the top of their
fields. We provide an array of workshops for those who are just learning
of this issue to advanced workshops for experts in the field. We always
seek presenters who have disabilities and have expertise in this field.
We hold our conferences in ADA/504 accessible locations. We offer
continuing education credit in as many areas as possible. And, finally,
the Conference is organized into tracks, so that participants may
follow one particular track of training throughout the Conference.
All types of disability and all types of abuse and neglect are addressed.
