<\/a>DETAILS….<\/strong><\/p>\n

The symposium will be keynoted by Bill Klein of the TLC television program, The Little Couple. \u00a0Three panels – Research, Research-to-Practice, and Family Perspectives – will address issues that are key to successful use of technology with young children with disabilities or at risk of developing disabilities. Throughout the day on-site participants will have hands-on activities, while remote participants will receive instructions on how they might create their own activities. \u00a0Following an informal lunch, participants will have the opportunity to network with each other and with panelists and to look at assistive technology devices more closely.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
