Whether NAASLN is hosting it’s own conferences or
sessions at other organizations’ events, the quality, depth of
information, practical teaching techniques, insight and
perspective cannot be surpassed for educators working with
adults with special learning needs.

opportunities to hear NAASLN speakers and participate in NAASLN

Conferences are always an
experience to remember. The international audience, the array of
sessions and conversations, the networking, the incredible information,
the hotel facilities, the committed exhibitors... all added to the
success of the experience!
