We hope you'll find this issue full of useful strategies to help you build your
students' literacy skills.
As preparations gear up for the annual Council for Exceptional Children
Convention and Expo to be held March 13 – 16, 2024 in San Antonio, Texas, I
want to remind you that DVIDB will again offer a slate of fantastic presentations,
roundtables, and poster sessions led by speakers from across the country. In
addition, we are busy planning our annual social event at convention where we will
honor this year's DVIDB award winners and enjoy spending time with colleagues
and friends. We hope you will be able to attend. Please be sure to watch for
VIDBE-Q's upcoming pre-convention issue and our social media channels for
more details.
I'm excited to share that DVIDB's 5
th
annual pre-conference workshop
event will be held virtually on March 8, 2024, from 9:00 am – 4:00 pm. This event
is free to DVDIB members and at a cost of $100 to nonmembers. Preconvention
will offer up to 6 ACVREP professional development hours. The morning will
focus on the CVI Protocol as a framework for describing CVI and the afternoon
includes a session on the promise of the new braille file standard known as eBRF
and a session devoted to connecting with families, transitions, and careers with the
APH ConnectCenter. Registration for the preconvention is available on the DVIDB
website. We hope you'll join us!
