Program outline of No Frills conference, Ballarate July 2009 (8-10th)

The Council for Learning Disabilities (CLD) is an international organization concerned about issues related to students with learning disabilities. Working to build a better future for students with LD has been the primary goal of CLD for more than 30 years. Involvement in CLD helps members stay abreast of current issues that are shaping the field, affecting the lives of students, and influencing professional careers. CLD members are committed to standards of excellence and innovation in educational research, practice, and policy.

What a great conference this looks like.
This biennial Conference, our ninth in NSW, has captured the evolution and integration of inclusive technologies into the education and employment context for almost a decade. It aims to promote best practice by instructing, informing, guiding, and inspiring participants to incorporate appropriate inclusive technologies – or a range of successful strategies – into their environment. For the first time our final day will focus on learning disability in education and employment, and will include not only appropriate technologies, but examine a range of best practice, theory and research surrounding the topic. The objective… the inclusion and success of students and people with disability in society.
