future. The conference will consist of plenary 
presentations, topical group work, and breakout

Discovery methods and principles across the lifespan.
·        Establishing and maintaining the most 
productive program-wide philosophy on blindness.
·        Examining curricula, schedules, and 
activities from leading education and 
rehabilitation programs throughout the country.
·        Evaluating educational technologies, 
policies, and practices for teachers of blind students.
·        Reviewing rehabilitation methods, 
principles, and policies that effect instructors and administrators.
·        Discussing unique teaching techniques in core subject areas.
·         Exploring strategies for making a 
successful transition from education to rehabilitation.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that 
blindness is not the characteristic that defines 
you or your future. Every day we raise the 
expectations of blind people, because low 
expectations create obstacles between blind 
people and our dreams. You can live the life you 
want; blindness is not what holds you back.
