The 2013 conference, "When Behavior Gets in the Way: Creating Caring Schools and Communities," will provide learning experiences for families, educators, community services providers, community mental health professionals, and self-advocates who are working to promote inclusive education and transition experiences for students who have challenging behaviors. This year, we have organized the conference into five strands over three days:
- Strand A - Every Student College and Career Ready: Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports in Schools
- Strand B - The Communication & Behavior Relationship: Focus on Augmentative Communication and Students Taking the Alternate
- Strand C - Inclusive Classroom Strategies that Promote Positive Relationships, Behavior, and Learning
- Strand D - Youth Leadership
- Strand E - Contemporary Topics
Who Should Attend: The NCIE Summer Institute is designed for and will benefit individuals with disabilities and/or challenging behaviors, parents, educators, paraeducators, school administrators, guidance counselors, related services providers, psychologists, university students, educational teams including families, and others interested in creating more inclusive opportunities for students with disabilities.
