March 2008 Events

The University of Kansas Professionals for Disability held its annual student conference on March 14. Nearly twenty presenters shared their research with fellow peers, professors, and other students. Dr. Steve Graham, professor and Currey Ingram Chair in the Department of Special Education and Literacy at Vanderbilt University and a graduate of KU, was warmly welcomed back to campus during his the keynote presentation discussing evidence-based practices. Student topics included technologies such as e-mentoring and video conferencing, self-determination for adults with Asperger's or Autism, urban school reform, music therapy, and transition preparation. At the conference's closing remarks, Dr. Karen Harris, professor and Currey Ingram Chair in the Department of Special Education and Literacy at Vanderbilt University, spoke candidly on the challenges of publishing in top-tier journals. Many thanks to all involved - faculty, students, and the conference committee - for making this year's event the best yet!
