Annual Conference Presentations Sought

Plans are well underway already for the 1996 DATI Annual Conference, to be held on Wednesday, September 25, 1996 at the Sheraton Inn and Conference Center in Dover. As in the past, the conference will feature a keynote address, exhibits of assistive technology products and services, and several workshop sessions on various AT-related topics.

The DATI Training Activities Committee is currently soliciting proposals for presentations to be made during these 1-1/4 hour workshop sessions. Presentations may address any assistive technology issues. Proposals for presentations must include a one-page abstract of the topic to be covered, expected outcomes of the session, and the method of instruction to be used. The Committee will rank all proposals according to their quality and topical relevance. The most highly-ranked proposals will be incorporated into the conference program. Conference registration fees will be waived for those presenters whose proposals are selected for presentation.

Proposals are due by May 1, 1996. Complete the form on the next page and return it to the address below. For further information, contact Sonja Simowitz via the following phone numbers:
