The Council for Learning Disabilities (CLD) will hold it’s annual conference in just a few weeks. Here’s the scoop about it.

Hello from the Council for Learning Disabilities! We are busy preparing for our 29th International Conference on Learning Disabilities to be held at the Sheraton Myrtle Beach Convention Center Hotel (Myrtle Beach, SC) from October 12-13, 2007. We cordially invite you to attend this important event! With more than 100 sessions, you will hear high quality topical sessions that are responsive to important issues and inclusive of effective, research-based practices in the field of learning disabilities. As part of its theme for the 2007 conference, “Coastal Treasures: Collaboration and Research-based Teaching” this conference in particular will feature many exciting sessions on collaboration and co-teaching that you don’t want to miss!

The deadline for early registration for the 29th International Conference on Learning Disabilities is fast approaching. The cut off date for the “early bird” rate is September 12, 2007. The cost of conference registration increases significantly after this time. If you are planning to attend the conference and expect to stay at the conference hotel, I strongly encourage you to phone the hotel today to make your reservations (remember to ask for the CLD room block rate). Our room block is being held through September 11, 2007 and will sell out quickly! If you experience difficulty with your hotel reservations, please contact me.
