2024 ADARA Conference
May 29 - June 1, 2024
Please join us for the in-person 2024 ADARA Conference on May 29 to June 1, 2024, in Atlanta, Georgia. Our conference theme is Recover, Recharge and Reconnect. This conference is an excellent opportunity to gain new information, share your experiences, and hone your professional skills. At the conclusion of the conference, you will be able to identify new skills and training strategies that can be applied to your professional practice.
ADARA conference participants represent professionals in the fields of vocational rehabilitation services and behavioral health, including research, independent living, education, interpreting, transition, etc. At the end of the conference, participants from each service field will be able to integrate their service specialty with at least one other related service.
ADARA also acknowledges that services for Deaf, Hard of Hearing, and DeafBlind persons are scarce; therefore networking is critical in sharing strategies and resources. When the conference is over, participants will be able to list at least three new connections made to other professionals and other agencies serving individuals who are Deaf, Hard of Hearing, and DeafBlind and describe how these relationships may be of benefit to them.
Communication access is another critical factor that affects ADARA members. At the conclusion of the conference, participants will be able to differentiate strategies for providing effective communication to consumers they work with in a variety of settings, as demonstrated in plenary and workshop sessions.
The 2024 ADARA Conference will be approved for professional continuing education units (CEUs) by several professional disciplines:
ASL and voice interpreting will be provided for all workshops at this conference. CART/captioning and tactile interpreting services will be provided upon request. Requests must be made by April 30, 2024. Please note that this conference is in-person, not hybrid.
