Join us for a unique conference emphasizing teaming of professionals from a wide variety of disciplines for maximizing service provision for children with special learning and behavioral needs.  Sessions will focus on addressing challenging behaviors of children and adolescents.

Target Audience: Physicians, speech/language pathologists, general and special educators, administrators, education consultants, psychologists, social workers, occupational and physical therapists, paraeducators, parents and family members.

This year the conference covers so many areas and dynamic speakers that we've expanded to two days.  Thursday afternoon will highlight our collaborative initiative with tours of the Oakwood Center for Exceptional Families and the University of Michigan-Dearborn Early Childhood Education Center followed by an evening keynote presentation.

On Friday, we will offer another keynote presentation and a full day of conference sessions by practitioners and educators.  For the full conference schedule and description of Friday sessions, click on the links below:
