The last two days were filled with day-long conference participation. What an incredible participation rate. The 2-300 people in attendance showed up at 8 in the morning and were still going strong after 5 pm. Real commitment to both school inclusion and deinstitutionalization. I did two presentations, one on the CRPD and its implications for Colombia and the other on working with families around deinstitutionalization. You can see the first one here....

I used a lot of the same material I have been using, and borrowed some slides form both Michael Smull and Nancy Weiss. For those of you who do not know Michael's work, you can find it at

Nancy works here with us at UD, and is also a fabulous presenter.
The trip home began with a wake-up call at 4 AM, though I was already up and a quiet ride to the airport which was amazingly bust at 4:45 AM. Got some coffee for home, candy for work and was glad for the upgrade on the flights home. The international terminal in Miami is a zoo and, like most things in Florida, not quite right!
Off to Prague in a few weeks. More on that leter.
