AHEAD Start: OUT OF THE BOX!
| AHEAD is pleased to announce a new Comprehensive, Coordinated, Program of Professional Development |
| Register for the AHEAD Start: OUT OF THE BOX! program below and take $100 off your overall AHEAD Conference registration fee |
Designed for disability resource directors, coordinators and staff who are new to the field or seeking to refresh their approach, AHEAD Start: Out of the Box! offers a comprehensive overview and in-depth discussions of the issues that shape postsecondary disability services in today’s changing climate.
