Alexa Posny, Director of the Office of Special Education Programs for the U.S. Department of Education, has accepted ASHA's invitation to speak at the School's Forum at ASHA's 2006 Annual Convention. Director Posny will present on the impact of the final regulations for Part B of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) on speech-language pathologists in schools. She is also expected to facilitate a roundtable at the forum.
The School's Forum is a two-hour session scheduled for 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. on November 16, 2006, at the Miami Beach Convention Center (Room A201-A205). It attracts hundreds of school-based clinicians who gather to discuss common issues and concerns, learn about each others' activities, and participate in roundtable sessions with leaders in the profession. For more information on Director Posny's attendance at the forum, please contact Catherine Clarke, ASHA's Director of Education and Regulatory Advocacy, at 301-897-0159 or by e-mail at cclarke@asha.org.
