A two-day concentrated format
that directly responds to membership calls for more of what
NAASLN does best—intimate, practical, hands-on training
programs!
Conveniently located just 30 miles from
Baltimore, this regional conference will draw adult
education practitioners, state directors of adult education,
transition specialists, community college faculty, workforce
counselors, disability advocates, and others from New York
to Virginia.
Access to the Workforce for Adult and
Adolescent Learners with AD/HD and Asperger’s Syndrome
will feature three plenary sessions as well as small-group
discussions of how breakthrough strategies developed by
nationally recognized educators apply to
the evolving economy; issues affecting the new workforce;
transition to postsecondary education and the workforce;
advocacy issues and techniques; and more.
Registration is limited to 70
overnight registrants and 80 day-only registrants.
Full registration of
$250 covers a day-and-a-half of sessions, one overnight, all
meals, 24-hour access to a hospitality suite, and free
parking. Full registration with no overnight accommodations
is $190. The
day-only registration of $135 covers one day of sessions,
two meals, hospitality suite, and free parking.
NAASLN has chosen the perfect
setting of the Bon Secour Conference Center, a beautiful,
self-contained, countryside facility surrounded by rolling
hills and woods with comfortable meeting facilities,
customized meals, on-site gym, and acres of walking trails.
Conveniently located, BSCC is about 30 minutes by car from
