Each child within Deaf education is given a safe space to be seen as a contributing agent to change. This conference presents us with an opportunity to meet at this critical juncture where our collective knowledge, wisdom, resources, and love for our Deaf students will be spotlighted, shared, and realized in multiple forums.
