Received from UNF

International Mini-Conference
March 8th; 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm EST;
March 9th; 8:30 am to 11:30 am JST
Virtual Conference via Zoom

This International Virtual Mini-Conference focuses on two main themes: Inclusive Education and Literacy and d/Deaf and Hard of Hearing Students. For the first theme, presenters will discuss the merits of inclusive education for three broad cohorts of students—those who are d/Deaf and hard of hearing, those with cognitive disabilities, and those who are blind or with visual impairments. For the second theme, the focus is on d/Deaf and hard of hearing students with information pertaining to visual phonics, cue sign, cochlear implants, and the use of signed or spoken language and their effects on the development of literacy. The conference should not only provide up-to-date research findings, but also educational and instructional implications.
