Everyone's a Winner in Reno
Crisp high altitude air, sunny days in
the midst of snowy winter, and the excitement of unique Nevada
nightlife form the backdrop for this year’s, 42nd Annual
International LDA Conference. Not everyone can be lucky at the
roulette wheel in the casino, but “Everyone A Winner” is our theme,
consonant with LDA’s message that “every person can succeed in
school, in relationships, at work and in the community, given the
right opportunities.”
The annual LDA conference is your vehicle for discovering what those
opportunities might be and how you might help to create them through
your state and local LDA. Over 200 workshops on issues of interest to
adults with learning disabilities and those who work with them, to
parents of young and school-aged children, to young adults in
transition from school to adult life and their families, and
especially on instruction for educators and administrators are on the
schedule.
Full day pre-conference topical workshops cover issues of early
childhood, medical research, and mental health. Over 100 exhibitors
will display and demonstrate the latest tools for success and
programs that work, along with our popular LDA bookstore. Saturday is
dedicated to our ever-growing Post Secondary Options Fair, while the
National Institute for Literacy hosts an all-day Bridges to Practice
training.
Make your hotel reservations early by calling (800) 648-1177 and be
sure to indicate you are part of the LDA Conference room block to
receive our special $99 guest room rate (single or double). Ask also
for rooms in the West Wing of the hotel to be closest to the
conference and exhibit areas. The food in the hotel is great with a
wide selection of restaurants, buffets, and delis within the hotel,
and affordable, too.
The LDA Reno conference is affordable, easy to get to, and chock full
of wonderful learning and sharing experiences for all of our members,
whatever your areas of interest. Register today! All members should
