| Planning for Success in STEM for Students with Disabilities: A Working Conference |
A two-day working conference with follow-up publication
held on April 1-2, 2009 is to stimulate dialog to 1)
improve attitudes toward, 2) investigate ways to better
support, and 3) plan accommodations/supports for students
with disabilities who have interests in Science,
Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, in secondary and
post-secondary settings. This includes examining ways to
support students with STEM interests transitioning from
high school to post-secondary education, investigating ways
to support students with STEM interests transitioning from
community colleges into STEM majors in 4-year colleges and
universities, exploring options for resolution of issues;
and advancing recommendations for improving the quality of
STEM education for students with disabilities.
