DLD Conference, Orlando, 2004

The DLD Conference was held in Orlando, Florida, on Nov. 4 - 5. There were many researchers and leaders in the field of learning disabilities presenting three-hour workshops on specific interventions and instructional strategies. There were quite a few students in attendance; most were graduate students. Some of the students were recipients of the Roads Scholarship which helped pay for some of their expenses to attend the conference.
