Statewide Trainings: CAMA, Inclusion Conference, LIFE Conference

The CAMA Van is Coming

Want to learn about the latest in augmentative communication technology directly from the product manufacturers themselves? If so, plan to attend the CAMA (Communication Aid Manufacturers Association) Workshop to be held in Newark on Thursday, October 8, 1998. For a preregistration fee of $30, you will have the opportunity to learn about all the latest innovations in augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) technology from the leading manufacturers. The full-day program offers a continental breakfast, a packet of materials, lunch, and up to six 45-minute sessions offered by manufacturers.

The sessions have been developed specifically for consumers, parents or caregivers, speech/language pathologists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, teachers, administrators, health care providers, rehab engineers, inclusion specialists, students, and others interested in AAC.

CAMA offers Continuing Education Units through the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA). For more information or to receive a registration form, contact CAMA at 1-800-441-CAMA (2262) or email them at cama@northshore.net.

Inclusion Conference

This year, DATI is joining forces with the Developmental Disabilities Planning Council and the Department of Education in hosting this event. Along with other well-known presenters, this year's conference will feature Richard Wanderman of LD Resources. During his day-long workshop, Mr. Wanderman will demonstrate ways children with LD can be included in regular education classrooms by considering the student's needs and abilities, the environment of the classroom, and the technology that can make it happen.

The event will be held at the Sheraton Dover Hotel, in Dover, Delaware on Wednesday, November 4, 1998. Registration information will be mailed in September.

LIFE Conference

Instead of its stand-alone conference in the fall, DATI has opted to join forces with a number of other consumer-focused organizations to sponsor the LIFE (Liberty and Independence for Everyone) Conference. This day-long event is scheduled for January 28, 1999 at the Sheraton Dover Hotel. It will feature a keynote, concurrent sessions, and a full-array of exhibits. Please direct suggestions for session topics to Sonja Simowitz at the DATI Central Site.
