Conference overview
This conference helps practitioners achieve safe, compliant special needs transportation by offering practical solutions, workable answers, best practices and advice. 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 2008 presenters
