[Athen] [Access Technologists Higher Education Network] AHEAD 2006: ATHEN Presentations

[Berkowitz, Daniel J]

Next week is the annual meeting <http://ahead.org/training/2006.php>  of
the Association on Higher Education and Disabilities. The Access
Technologist Higher Education Network (ATHEN) will be well represented
at the conference both in attendance and presentation. Here is a list of
sessions by ATHEN members - note that several of these are
non-technology specific which lends support to the fact that you do not
have to be a techie per-se to join and enjoy the benefits of ATHEN.
