The Next Chapter:  Master Classes for the Seasoned Professional
May 18 - 20, 2017
The Sheraton Dallas Hotel, Dallas, Texas
AHEAD, through its conferences, webinars, and other resources, is recognized as a leader in providing professional development for disability services and resource personnel. For a number of years, highly experienced professionals have also asked for more content that pushes their development: that assists them in making nuanced decisions, staying current with legal and technological changes, engaging campus stakeholders, and gaining the respect necessary to redefine access on their campuses.

The Next Chapter is a response to those requests. With four 3-day Master Classes, we invite institutional leaders and seasoned disability providers, with a solid understanding of the ADA and disability accommodation process, to join national-expert instructors for a deep dive into an “advanced” curriculum. Programs include:

• Access in the Health Sciences Curriculum: Advanced Training for Disability Professionals
• System Change: Advanced Advocacy for Access and Inclusion
• Disability Law: Lessons in Application for the Advanced Disability Professional
• The ADA Coordinator Role: Advanced Issues in Higher Education

To ensure maximum learning and interaction, registrations will be capped for each Master Class. All programs include 20-hours of instruction and result in a certificate to document enhanced expertise in a specific area of access and inclusion. Some Classes will require pre-work. AHEAD is applying for CEU pre-approval from the CRCC for this program.
