We really enjoyed the symposium and learned so much. It really helped me to see the challenges that educators and dispute resolution professionals are experiencing the need for more conversations involving student and family voice, and systems change. The keynotes were right on the mark!! - Parent Center Representative
Thank you again to you and your team for the excellent symposium in Denver last month. I brought back many actionable ideas to share with my team—it was truly one of the most useful conferences I have ever been to! I know that sounds hyperbolic but I mean it! - State Education Agency (Part B) Representative
I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed the conference. It was truly top-notch and re-energizing! - Early Intervention (Part C) Representative
