ALERT! The National Association for Adults with Special Learning Needs -
NAASLN - is alerting adult educators and providers of adult services about
our rescheduled conference.
The NAASLN conference, previously scheduled for September 13 -15, 2001, is
being held April 14 - 16, 2002 -- in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This
international conference is being hosted in conjunction with the Greater
Milwaukee Literacy Coalition and the Milwaukee Area Technical College. The
original conference was SOLD OUT...but, due to conflicts in some
participant's and presenter's schedules, the April 2002 conference now has
space for additional attendees (and a few presenters)!
Listed below is an invitation to you from NAASLN's President, Laura Weisel,
Ph.D., and a listing of conference sessions. National associations and
organizations have joined forces in partnership with NAASLN to promote this
conference. Visit our website -- www.naasln.org -- for the most up-to-date
conference and membership information. For questions -- contact us directly
at naasln@aol.com.
Colleagues,
We are excited to introduce you to the renewed National Association for
Adults with Special Learning Needs. Over the past year, the association
leadership has worked hard to rebuild NAASLN to meet the growing demands on
education and vocation providers serving a variety of adults with special
learning needs -- learning disabilities, visual and hearing impairments,
developmental disabilities, persistent mental illnesses, and physical
disabilities.
To celebrate our passion and vision, NAASLN, in conjunction with the Greater
Milwaukee Literacy Coalition and the Milwaukee Area Technical College, is
sponsoring an international conference, Forging the Future, April 14 - 16,
2002, in Milwaukee, WI. Over 50 sessions will be presented offering you the
most up-to-date research, policies and legislation, technology, and best pract
ices to successfully support adults with special learning needs in attaining
their goals to become successful workers, parents, and integrated members of
our communities.
Join us for this incredible opportunity to learn, network, and forge the
future! Laura Weisel, Ph.D., President
