We are excited to have THREE nationally recognized keynote speakers and 25-30 breakout sessions over the two day conference! We will have math, literacy, and family/student support strands woven throughout the conference. We are very excited to bring math intervention expert, Dr. Paul Riccomini; literacy intervention expert and creator of Structured Word Inquiry, Dr. Pete Bowers; and author Dr Shawn Robinson, (Dr. Dyslexia Dude) join us for keynote presentations and breakout sessions. We will also have a variety of Alabama experts join us as we share ideas and best practices to support students with dyslexia as they face both reading and math challenges. Enjoy breakout sessions on a variety of topics including assistive technology, multisensory classroom strategies, and a variety of sessions specifically for parents and students.
