turn, use that information to influence our pedagogy for students with visual
impairments. While these specialized conferences provide great
experiences, sometimes it is also a great experience to attend a
conference that is not "specialized." In attending a conference with a focus
on "general education," there is opportunity to collaborate with presenters
and participants who may not know about our field and learn what is
