Our 30th Annual Conference
Recognized by many as the best educational AT conference in North America!
This year's conference builds on a tradition of providing a comprehensive examination of the most current uses of technology by persons with disabilities and the professionals who work with them.
Topics will cover a broad spectrum of technology as it is being applied to all disabilities and age groups in education, rehabilitation, vocation and independent living.
Come and learn, first-hand, about the products and best AT practices and strategies by and for teachers, therapists, clinicians, parents and end users alike.

What participants have said
Great sessions, great vendors, and invaluable opportunity to earn CEUs and academic credit.
~Consultant
Closing The Gap has given me a sense of direction to go with my son, and has helped me to find a method of communication for my son. The workshops, the friendships, the brainstorming with parents, vendors and presenters, and the hands-on experiences have all presented wonderful opportunities to discover options to try with my son. The conference is truly awesome!
~Parent
Fantastic! Hope I can come EVERY year‚ extremely valuable information!
