Transporting Students with Disabilities & Preschoolers
19th National Conference & Exhibition

March 5-10, 2010                  Orlando, Florida
Doubletree Hotel at the Entrance to Universal, Orlando

 

 

This conference and its companion 8-hour programs are recognized nationally as your best opportunity to get workable solutions and practical answers to your pressing questions about transporting kids with special needs - from preschool to transition services.    view 2009 schedule at a glance

Companion programs
In addition to the main conference which offers more than 40 sessions on special needs transportation, two intensive Workshops and an Executive Briefing are offered. These intensive programs serve the interests of both regular and special needs transportation.

Interested in exhibiting?
Exhibiting at this show will deliver fresh, new contacts. Each year, roughly one-third of our 550 attendees are first-time conferees! And, they are "deciders" when it comes to purchasing products and services.

Conference overview
This conference helps practitioners achieve safe, compliant special needs transportation.  Interacting with more than 30 experts and more than 550 colleagues, you'll satisfy what many say is the biggest concern among people who work with children with special needs:

Doing what is right and knowing what "right" is.

Focus on best practices and compliance
We focus on best practices because, more than ever before, best practices are being codified - making every member of the IEP team liable in significant ways. We focus on compliance issues because you must know your rights and responsibilities to your managers, your drivers, your passengers - and to yourself.

The conference team
Our tenured faculty and distinguished presenters help you define policies and operational procedures that will stand up to greater scrutiny by your boss, be that a school board, parent, attorney or judge. View 2009 presenters

Roadeo
The National Special Needs Team Safety Roadeo consists of driver-attendant teams who participate in five major skill events. Top performers will be recognized, but the overall goals are greater knowledge and increased competence.   View roadeo details
