VIDBE-Q Volume 67 Issue 4
A special issue is great way to start the conversation on a particular topic in
the field and in no way aspires to cover the entire area of the field in one issue. I
encourage you to continue the conversation about interveners that will be started in
this special issue. A better understanding of the role of interveners as well as a
deeper discussion about services for students with Deafblindness is essential to
advance the field. I hope you will find this special issue valuable.
I am getting excited for convention, and I hope that you will be able to join
us in Louisville, KY March 1-4, 2023. Our annual convention is a time to learn,
network, and get inspired. DVIDB is working to put together wonderful sessions,
both in-person and virtual, with fantastic speakers from across the country. We are
also planning a virtual pre-convention workshop to be offered on February 24,
2023, from 9:00 am – 4:00 pm, which I hope you will attend. Pre-convention will
be available free to members and for a fee to non-members. ACVREP credits will
be available for participants. The focus of this year's pre-convention is English
learners with visual impairments, a topic that is of critical importance to our field
in the 21
st
century.
Please enjoy this special issue and be sure to check our website for
information on the CEC 2023 convention and DVIDB's pre-convention workshop.
