Planning for the 2011 DB Project Directors' Meeting

Posted by John Reiman, NCDB

        The 2011 DB Project Directors’ Meeting, collaboratively planned by OSEP, NCDB and state deaf-blind projects, is being held in Washington, D.C. on July 17. Entitled ‘Enhancing Deaf-Blind Network Connectivity: Applications of Web Technology,’ the day will be directed toward three objectives:

• Participants will increase awareness of current information and resources in two targeted content areas identified as high need: 

• Central Auditory Processing Disorder; 
• Regionalized Deaf-Blind Consultation/TA Models, used to build local capacity

• Participants will increase awareness of applications for technology-driven systems and strategies that:

• provide network-wide access to current information, current resources, current training tools and materials relative to these, as well as other, targeted areas; and,

• increase awareness and use of emerging web-based mechanisms for network-wide dialogue in service of increased connectivity and productivity;

• Participants will provide input and feedback to OSEP and NCDB to guide further refinement of emerging web-based technologies.
