Join us for the 3rd annual HELIX Conference where we maximize access, set high expectations, make connections, and dare to dream with our students with low incidence disabilities. Come to the conference to learn from national experts, network with colleagues from across the state, and take home evidence-based practices and strategies that you can use with your students! This is a diverse conference that serves the needs of students with visual impairment, who are Deaf-Blind, with hearing loss, with intellectual disabilities, who have an acquired brain injury, and/or with complex communication needs by creating valuable learning opportunities for teachers, administrators, therapists, and family members.
