I am thrilled to share the Spring Convention Issue of the Visual Impairments and
Deafblind Education Quarterly journal w ith you. This issue is a wonderful collection of
highlights from this year's annual convention in Tampa, FL! This issue is a great way to
explore some of the amazing things in the field of visual impairments and deafblindness
that were featured at the CEC Annual Convention and Expo.
This issue begins with articles featuring the DVIDB Award Winners for 2018. The
following articles are summaries of presentations from this year's convention with
applications for the field. I will let the articles speak for the mselves, but please make sure
to read them all, because you will find excellent ideas and suggestions for practitioners
and researchers included throughout this issue. Happy reading, and a special thank you
to our authors and advertisers that contributed t o this special issue.
